The 240 "rally" cluster isn't QUITE a straight swap into a 73/74 140 (I know because I have tried !)

It fits in perfectly, but some of the wiring on the plugs on the back of the cluster is slightly different and has to be swapped around.

Oil pressure gauge in the rally cluster is 10bar, but you can get them from VDO (including ones that have a tag for the oil light, so no "T" piece required.

Also, at least on a RHD car, the standard 140 speedo cable isn't long enough (but I suspect it would be probably be OK on a LHD car, with a bit of cable re-routing perhaps). I used the longer cable off an M41-equipped 244 on my 142 with M40.
