She is named Victoria and sports a 302 with a C4.
My son and I finished reinstalling the last of the dash pieces today. I took all the plastic panels off, scuffed, primered, an resprayed them semi gloss black to include the center piece around the radio bezel. While I had the dash apart I took out the instrument cluster and tore it apart, cleaned it and put back together while installing led lights and removing the bulbs. As usual I forgot to disconnect the battery, so I blew a couple fuses when disconnecting the radio and horn, so I will have to replace them soon for everything to work correctly again. I got rid of my fast and furious style steering wheel and refinished my old wooden grant by sanding and priming the wood and painting it semi gloss to match the dash, then I steel wooled the chrome to give it a machined look. All in all I think it turned out great! Here are before and after pictures. Not a bad fix for about $20!
Here is the instrument cluster in the dark, the picture doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea right...
