need help 68 dart ip/ instrument cluster removal

I pull the steering column down. Pull the bolts out of the floor plate, there's one bolt down by the brake pedal that goes "up" into another bracket, and the two nuts under the little short trim piece in the center. Check the slack on the column wiring connector, and it should lay right down.

The cluster has to pull "out and down" from the top, sort of hinge downwards, as the bottom of the cluster casting "hooks" down over the bottom edge of the mounting cutout.

Be sure you unhook the battery, and be darn careful of the fragile connectors on the two PC boards. You'll have to first reach up and unclip/ unscrew the speedo cable, and when you get enough slack, unbolt the ammeter nuts.
