I removed the dash to replace a heater core and when I started her up the instrument cluster gagues dont work. Indicator lights on the cluster work, like the turn signal indicators, brake light etc but none of the gagues (oil, engine temp, tach, speedo, fuel) dont work. What can i check?

Well appearently not enough people owns these POS Jimmys to post a reply. At any rate, I found the problem and fixed it. As it turns out, during the repair I removed the 24 pin rectangular plug for the Speedo head from the dash frame and while moving stuff around I mashed one of the contacts down so that it wasnt making contact with the flexable electronic grid on the back of the speedo head when it was plugged in.
I took a small flat screwdriver and repositioned the contact, plugged the speedo head in and the gagues worked!
