Steering column drop

Hey everyone I’m just curious if it’s possible to drop my steering column so that I can pull the gauge cluster on 74 Dart. Cheers and thanks in advance for any help.

Yes.

Directly under the cluster you will see three bolts with a star pattern washer. See diagram.

Remove these and column will drop.

Also, removing the steering wheel helps a lot.

Before doing anything, reach up and disconnect the speedometer cable.

Remove the phillips screws holding in the cluster , and rock it forward from the top. Don't pull it straight back or you will probably damage the pins on the circuit board connectors.

Go slow, take your time and the cluster will come out easily.

Cheers!!
