if you want the "wraith look" dash you would want a 84-86 digital dash out of a daytona or laser. You can get a the 87-89 digital dash as well but it has a different look. For instructions, you have to wire it in. You want to remove the digital dash, and connectors that plug into it. (also when you cut the connectors out of the donor car try to get a good amount of wire, when I did this I luckily removed the dash and got about a foot of wire on each plug)

Its pretty much cut the old plugs off, and match the wires up. You may want to get a FSM (factory service manual) to help you with matching up the wiring. It is not needed, as you can pretty much match up the wires. But fsm's are a good asset anyway
I have also heard ideas of leaving the analog plugs in and just splicing in the digital ones. You may also have to swich your speed sensor

here are some good links:

Also do a search on here for analog to digital dash conversions to see more info, etc. I have the 86 wiring diagrams scanned as well, if you need them
