Questions about Dash Cluster
Much easier if you drop the column, and easy to do. UNHOOK the battery!! Remove the 4 or so bolts at the floor plate, there should be a bolt hid "up in" by the pedals that holds the column. Pull the ignition/ turn signal connectors after removing the little trim under the column and remove the 2 nuts up under there. You might have to unlock the column and turn the wheel 1/4 turn or so to get the steering coupler into an "advantageous" position, and the column should drop right down.
Biggest trick is the knob for the headlight switch. Pull the switch out to "on" and reach up around the back to the switch. There's a release knob that allows the knob AND SHAFT to pull clear out of the switch
Unhook the speedo, the wiper switch knob (setscrew) pull the screws out of the cluster and work it out "a little" until you can get to the ammeter connections and cluster harness connector.
