I ordered the gauge pod with my kit, now it's time to install and I cant find instructions anywhere.

Did I misplace them or is this a figure it out as you go kind of thing?

I should say, I have the Speedhut instructions that came with the gauges, I guess what I am looing for is how does this tie into the RF harness.

I can't answer for that specific cluster. But the Ron Francis wiring harness instruction manual has several sections describing how the harness is wired to the gauges.

There are instructions for the rial gauges but that's it.

Looks to me like much of the RF "Dash Harness" can be eliminated if each of the leads on the Speedhut has its own sensor. (Oil Pres, Water temp, tach etc.)

Yeah, that's discussed quite a lot. It can go either way depending on your preference. On mine, I've spliced the Speedhut sensors onto the RF sending wires so that I can unplug the dash harness connectors and separate the dash. But many home run the Speedhut wires directly to the gauges. That certainly works too.
