The delay is most likely due to the worldwide micro chip shortage. Just run your original cluster until you can get the digital.

Edit: Sorry, you said "easy". To me, easy is using the original. Might have to wait on speedo working (depending on transmission) until you can get the Dakota Digital. Oh, and drill the head for the proper temp sender, and mod the oil sender to work with the mechanical gauge. Ok, I get what you are saying. But, I did all that because I like the original look. I was going to use the Dakota Digital ECD-200BT-1 to drive the speedo, but I bet that is in short supply as well.
