It will mostly work. You'll have to replace your current oil pressure switch with an EF or EL Oil Pressure Sender for the pressure gauge to work, but otherwise It should work fine.

Make sure that your not using a fairmont dash though - the backlighting on Falcons is different to the Fairmonts and Fairlanes
