The earlier ones just pull out. I know they do on a 70.

Yup. pulls out. You might consider pulling the cluster, though. There are a number of things "that happen
On my 67........
Some of the PC board harness pins were broken and loose. You can resolder them
On mine, the spring contacts for the IVR were actually not making contact with the board traces......solder jumpers across
The nuts for the gauge studs become loose. Consider replacing with "real" nuts. Work them loose/ tight several times to scrub the board clean
Consider cleaning up the dash lighting socket terminals, and the sockets. This would not be a bad time to just replace the bulbs.
This thread has some good tips on repair

On some years, be careful as protruding repairs for the pins, out the rear of the board can short. Protect between the board and dash housing
This is the repair I did to the IVR socket. I just soldered blobs across. The wires replace the connector on mine. My pins were so bad, I abandoned the original connector and used Molex

The rallye dashes (tachometer) still had the dash Vreg inside the fuel gage until ~1973. Shouldn't affect you, but just peer up there and look for a shiny rectangular box on the rear of the dash circuit board.
the 74 limiter plugs in. The additional wire with spade terminal is noise suppression capasitor. It goes in the center female with the limiter. To leave that out can cause a weak or intermittent connection. Having said all that, If you can get under there and get a replacement properly installed, you're not the first to accomplish this.
Some owners will change every light bulb from underneath.
I choose to pull inst' panels for these services. Your standard panel is a lot easier to R&R than the rallye panels mentioned above. In the end, your choice. Have fun

Step 1, remove battery (-) cable.
Yup that is sound advice! Sometimes when we post we forget to state the basics.
