Removing Guage Cluster
Mike, I am going to assume that yours is a rallye guage cluster with the round pods. I can have the cluster out of my 67 cuda in about 5 minutes. Reaching under and removing the speedo cable, light switch plug, wiper plug, and circuit board plugs is pretty easy, just be careful when removing the circuit board plugs as the pins on the circuit board are very vunerable to breaking and staying in the plug, especially if they have not been removed before. The amp meter wires are also accessible from underneath with a nut driver, and of course the battery disconnected. Don't forget the ground wire from the condenser, and loosen and drop the steering column so it can tip out from the top and lift out. Don't worry about where all of the plugs go, they will all be in line with their respective switches, and they are all configured to only plug into the switch they were meant for. Brush a light coating of dielectric grease on all of the terminals before putting it back together, it helps to stop corrosion and makes it easier the next few times you take the cluster out. What??? You don't plan on taking it out again??? Neither did I until I bought a tach, then found a 150 speedo, then replaced the bezel, then did the volt meter thing, then... well, you get the picture. Good luck with the cluster, it's really not a bad job. Geof
