Trying to wire up my Digital Dash, however the only two wiring diagrams I have Indicate the left and right plug on the cluster. Can anyone tell me the pinout for the BACK plug on the instrument cluster as that's all I have to work with?

The main issue is the number of pins and the arrangement is skightky different between the diagrams for the left plug and the back plug.

Back plug of custer, notice that directly opposite where the tab is theres only one pin, whereas on the following wiring diagrams the left plug(connector B) has 2 pins opposite the locking tab.

If mpbpdy has a pinout can someone give me a method to test?

Just a little bump on this. Have got the cluster working but 3 wires on connector B aren't hooked up.
I have no connector for the ones marked: 12. W-B Fuel sender ground (it's earthed on another wire), 6. B-W Starter (ignition switch st1) as it says it's unecessary, 4. EFI Computer (no idea what this would do)

Also, for the speedo to work does it only need ignition power, a functioning speedo cable and for the cluster to be earthed on 'Pin 2. BR Ground (JB NO.1 SET BOLT)' Or will it need something additional?

Wow, you did really well without the adaptor plug for that back connector.

I'm going to attempt to label that back connector:

|01 |02 |03 |04 |__ |05 |06 |07 |08 |
|09 |10 |11 |12 |13 |14 |15 |16 |17 |

12 WB Fuel Sender ground goes to 16
6 BW Starter goes to 03
4 EFI there's no connection, but for some reason the adaptor plug has a wire going to 05

Let me know if you want a comprehensive list of where the other wires go to

If you're seeing a surprised faced emoticon as part of the diagram, it's meant to be an '08'. Didn't realise it 8+| would = 8|

Also, I missed the second part of your question. You're right, the speedo will function without any extra modules. What's different is the oil pressure & fuel level sensors. You'll need to get digital versions of these for the dash to function correctly for those corresponding features. You should be able to get these parts new if need be.

If you're looking at the dash from the front, plug A is the right plug, plug B is the left. Although it really depends which diagram you're using.
