'79 to '81 Toyota clusters use 2 round plugs with round terminal ends.
'82 and newer use 3 or more flat plugs with flat pins.
Therefore major wire changeover required.
Oil sender idiot light---no problem
Gas tank sender---no problem but will drop quickly when empty
Water temp---no problem, will now read 1/4 gauge at 180 degree
Tach---no problem if 4cyl, way off and wrong if V6
Speedometer---no problem, will clip right on
All outher functions will work but you have a lot of custom wiring ahead of you.
This is not advised unless you are familiar with Toyota clusters.
