    Where are you located. I have one from a 76. Not sure what works and what doesn't. Really needs a paint job. $40 plus shipping.

    I think the only difference between the 76 and 77 cluster, other than the 100 mph vs 85 mph, is the material (and color) it's made from and a slight change in the casting around the light socket holes. I do not think this casting change is going to make any difference as far as using the 76 cluster on a 77...both 76 and 77 use the same printed circuit.
