Hi there, I'm new to this site so i apologise if I'm in the wrong area. but my instrument cluster in my EA falcon has broken and i need a new one. i was wondering if the digital instrument cluster from an XF will fit straight into the EA dash?

no different plugs and mounts to start with, zl and xf fairmont ghia instrument clusters usually have intermittent problems due to dry joints but can be fixed with patience and a soldering iron.

Matt. Theres a tech doc on here (look on the resources link above) and look at the cluster swaps document for ea-ed falcons.

Bottom line : Yes, it can be done.

If you want a tacho, find yourself an S pak/Fairmont spec cluster that looks like this:

Welcome to fordmods. If you want to know anything about Falcons, you've come to the right place.

Thanks,

Evan.
