does anyone know where instrument cluster is located?


That's the part that has your speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, temp gauge, etc.

and is the ignition lock cylinder the actual key ignition?

The ignition lock cylinder is the mechanical part that the key goes into. It is separate from the ignition switch.
