OK, got the clock in. It didn't come with the bulb/bulb holder, so I had to order those. It definitely is no going to be plug and play. Played with the multimeter and I think I have figured out which wires go to the clock and which go to the bulb. I would recommend buying this:

This one has everything and with some simple splicing, would be up and running in an hour or so.

Default Clock is installed and working!

Just got finished. Here is how I did it:

I used 4 some feeler gauges to remove the digital clock. They go in at the 4 corners except for the top right, that catch is to the left of the hazard switch, above the clock portion of the cluster. Pop out the gauge cluster.

Remove the connector for the hazard switch and the connector for the clock.

There is 4 wires for the digital clock;

Green- 12V with key on, 0V with key off.
Red- 3V-8V variable with the dash lights dimmer
Black- ground
Purple- constant 12V

I cut the connector off the wires and covered the end of the green wire with heat shrink so that it couldn't short out. The green wire is not needed for the analog clock.

I stripped and soldered the remaining 3 wires and put female tab connectors on the wires. Red went to the bulb connector, black to the clock connector in the middle and purple to the last tab.

Put the hazard switch in and reconnect the hazard connector.

Pop the assembly back into the dash and done!

I really like the look of the analog clock vs. the digital.

Very nice. I still plan on doing this, if I come across another one for cheap. Just so long as someone doesn't snake it from me at the last second!
