You shouldn't need to go to an xa loom. if you going to an 8 obvioulsy not keeping the car original. Only a couple wires need to be changed/extended in order to do the swap.

Hope you have an XB indicator stalk then. You might need the XB column too, not sure on that one. Shouldn't be that hard to convert your standard loom over. Any auto electricain should be able to do it. Don't forget you will need the proper oil sender

Main ones are of course the oil and voltage, the standard dash still had fuel and temp. Oil shouldn't be hard, it doesn't have to travel far from the sender at |

I'm pretty sure the connections for the clock are already in the standard loom. They were with mine. Have to agree in regards to the wiring. If you don't have a GS loom sitting there get a sparky to wire the thing in. Also make sure the tacho is a 7K
