Trip Computer

I've got an '89 100 which runs, drives, and looks great. Are there any aftermarket Trip Computers available for this model? How difficult is it to retrofit a computer from a 5000 or one from a 100.

Thanks

Not True. Almost There Need wiring help Please

I was able to pick up an instrument cluster which included the factory trip computer, and the cluster of four control stalks (turning, wiper, emergency, etc) for $20 (yes twenty) from a local junk yard. By directly connecting four identical wires from the control arm to the same color wires on the back of the instrument cluster I got the computer reset button and the toggle switch to work. I also connected three wires from the air flow sensor to the back of the computer and all SIX Functions work!!

Unfortunately I suspect the Computer is not accurately calculating the MPG. DOES anyone know where these wires (connected to the trip computer) come from-go to
Green with brown stripe
Blue with black stripe
Yellow with blue stripe

Does anyone know where these wires from the control stalk go to-come from
Lime Green
Black with blue stripe
black with red stripe
yellow
purple

THANK YOU for your help
