Re: 85 dual tank gage question

If none of your gauges and lamps are working the first place to look is the ignition power and the ground wires to the cluster.

Ignition power is pinkish red with a black stripe. Look in the wiring diagrams for the fuse that feeds the cluster. It's marked INSTR LPS and it should be 5A. The other fuse to look at is the 20A IGN/GAU but that one will likely cause other issues.
Ground is black.

I've found the main instrument cluster ground unplugged from the buss bar above the parking brake pedal more than once. Easy quick fix.
