Easy.
http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=14 XR/Police clusters are just unplug and replace, and replace the Oil Switch with an Oil Sender Because your using an Fairmont cluster in a Futura, you have to add a resistor inside. Please read the above doco. If you haven't got a cluster, I can help you out with a chaser one/.

thanks mate that helped.... the only thing i didnt get was in the piture it shows a arrow going from one resister to the 2 bits of solder.. i gathered that the new resister goes where the 2 bits of solder are but whats the go with the other resister???? oh and my oddmeter has 330.000 klms on it so if i put this fairmont one in witch has 157.000 on it will it display that amount???

The odometer will read the amount of the one you plug in. My EL says I have only done 230000 when I have really done 260000. Also my guages all worked when I plugged in and I have a GLi. So should work on futura.

errm the picture has no resistor, its mearly a blacked outline for where it is to go.
This is what a resistor looks like. 
They're worth about 15cents each.
