Found my invoice for it!

Thought I best put this mystery to bed. I find it amazing that absolutely nobody knows about these screws! I got it figured out though! The two short screws goes on the right side of the collar, and the two long screws goes on the left side of the collar.

I’m trying to reinstall my steering column after I replaced the turn signal switch. My car is a 1966 Barracuda. I didn’t remove the column from the car, just loosened it to drop it down some. I removed the collar to get the turn signal wires fished in. 4 screws were holding the collar and I...

Oh! Good idea! Never thought about using hot glue. I ended up using Acraglas on the speedometer and vacuum gauge bezel. Those two aren’t coming out anytime soon….. It’s kind of permanent now…. I’ll get my hot glue gun out for the two end bezels and use that. Thanks!

I’m changing the plastic gauge cluster from a parts dash to the one that came with my car. The previous owner(s) butchered a number of things on this poor car especially the wiring! But that’s another story for another time. I’m trying to bring the original dash back to stock with the original...

GOT IT! Thanks guys! I used my needle nose to hold the stem and it unscrewed easily.

Just what the title says, how does one remove the trip mileage knob on a 1966 Barracuda speedometer bezel? I need to replace the front plastic dash on it.

Got them already, thank you!

Found another picture.

I haven’t taken it apart yet. But getting ready to. I’m installing an IRV3 to it. I’m going to takeout the or I should say disable the old original IRV inside the fuel gauge. The teepee is the 5v connection for the IRV3. I need to know as much information about this before I solder or connect a...

Here’s a side view of the teepee connection. The meter is showing continuity between the teepee and the screw, as well as the copper trace on the board.

On my 1966 Barracuda I have this teepee looking connection that’s covering a threaded screw. What’s is its purpose? Why wasn’t a nut used instead? Maybe to dissipate heat?
