janan5243 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) I am asking for some tips on the steps to remove or get the instrument cluster free to work on gauges, wiring & bulbs.I have asked several times in previous posts but never received any responses. I think that there are screws under the windshield garnish trim. I'm hoping for some tips rather going in blind & possibly damaging something not replaceable 50 years ago I would have jumped in with both feet & sorted things out afterwards. I appreciate any help or tips & pointers. When I changed ground polarity last year I couldn't get to ammeter to reverse wires. I'm the only driver & even tho it reads backwards, it does tell me my charging system in working. maybe someone can recommend a manual that would have that info.

rb1949 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Start with a picture and your exact model. Have you seen pictures of one removed, to get an idea where the mounting screws are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 The exploded view in a parts manual would be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janan5243 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm not sure if a body parts manual would have that. I guess I'll just buy one. Thanks for replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
