just wondering about a source, not a tech question about 1st gen cluster

[ODZKing]

Yep, that is what mine looks like now.
As far as the 66/67 tach, the 67 will work in the 66 dash, you simply have to bypass the sender which is mounted near the heater box which looks like this.

Here is the 66 vs 67 tach for your reference as well as the schematic (yes, same as Imperial).

And here is a shot of mine back in 2011 at the CEMA show at the Chrysler Museum

[Nacho-RT74]

sounds logic... however whoever in defense of the gold medallion theory could tell you the red NOS is a NOS 67 medallion, not a 66  LOL

[Nacho-RT74]

Bob, diagram shows the EL transformer, not the tach deal LOL

[Nacho-RT74]

silver center button with FUEL lettering, not gasoline

[ODZKing]

Whoops, sorry ... clicked the wrong one.  Fixed now.
I have all these and more on my site http://www.retrorarities.com/ChargerInfo.htm

[Nacho-RT74]

lol, ok

[Nacho-RT74]

Finally, the ebay seller  accepted a $500 offer for the one I located, which by what we have found is not really bad

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Good-Used-Dash-Instrument-Panel-Fits-Early-1966-Charger-Models-MOPAR/171488715392?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D26942%26meid%3D13a4763cf0f440b48ac842528bd653dd%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D11184%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D201190816166&rt=nc

Expensive to what I'm used to see on 3rd gen clusters price rates, but seems kinda "fair" for what we have seen.

Now searching for the EL transformer. There is one NOS which seems to be fixed on a factory fail but not tested after that.

We hope cluster will be in working order

I believe Bryan A383Wing has been repairing them. PM him. Unless it is REALLY shot, it can be repaired with new components.

[A383Wing]

never seen a dash that said "gasoline" in place of the "fuel"

I have OE gold medallion here in my car, no red at all...plus I picked up a NOS gold medallion years ago

I can rebuild the dash light power pack here, plus we are coming out with brand new units made in USA

[Nacho-RT74]

Dou you have a quote for the EL POWER PACK yet?

[A383Wing]

not yet, but I can rebuild the old one for less money, I'm sure...it's gonna be a couple more months before the new ones will be available....you might wanna save your pennies because I bet that cluster is going to need some work done on it

[Nacho-RT74]

I'm hoping don't need any work on the cluster LOL.

Do you think went for a nice price ? $500 ?

we don't have any powerpack, so would need an unit to be rebuilt yet LOL

this is the one on ebay right now, which says got a fail from the box, but repaired. What do you think ?

The power pack on ebay is not correct for the Charger, that one does not put out enough voltage to light our dashes correctly. That one is for the early Chryslers that has less to light up than our cars. There is another seller there that sells little black plastic power packs as well, don't get one of those either, one shorted out and almost burned the car down.

Personally, I think you spent way too much for an unknown cluster....but it's too late now....again, my opinion

Bryan

[Ghoste]

I can't comment much on the price but I will say that I've bought from Kramer a few times and always been happy.

[Nacho-RT74]

well the initial price was $625 or so, and Kramer accepted $500, sooooo... just waiting and hoping is in working order.

ok, didn't know about the powerpack... and my friend already bid on it!!!

( he is becoming kinda desesperated to get all the parts faster as posible, and I'm telling to get patiente )

yes, on a previous discussion I got the warning call about the repopped pieces

[A383Wing]

you might want to tell yer friend to retract his bid on that power pack...it won't light up the Charger dash very good

[Nacho-RT74]

what "problem" could he get ? not enough light or some overheating problem ?

( it seems it got more bids, not from my friend so no need to retract at this time )

let me know guys if somebody gets one needing to be rebuilt and able to send to Bryan LOL

[Nacho-RT74]

having a question... does the needle also light up?

[Ghoste]

Yes.

[Ghoste]

Like this.

that's me....

the Charger ones will work in the early cars, the early ones will not work on the Chargers....

the early ones only put out 200v AC....the Charger dashes require more, those power packs put out 250v AC....part number for the Charger dash power pack is 2661561

[Nacho-RT74]

nice, but once again we don't have a core... does somebody have one ?
