I am trying to get my spedometer gauge out of my dash.

All other gauges were pretty simple.

The spedometer has really kicked my arse.

I now have everything un-plugged but the cable that runs to the tacometer.

How does that come off?

Of course I will be asking for advise this weekend on how to put all of these gauges bak in.

Thanks

You can take this section out of the FSM and see if it helps you.. This info is for a 72 but should work.

I can't seem to open those files.

i cant open them either.

Well crap. Do you have Adobe reader 5.0 or newer installed. Works for me.

I've got 6.0

What does it say about un-plugging the cable that runs to the tacometer part of the Spedometer gauge?

i have Adobe 7.0+

edit, nevermind, i think the 280 tach is different than the 240 one.

I know the speedometer cable un-screwed, but it didn't feel like the tac cable would un-screw.

I will try though.

I just keep adding on to projects. This all started by replacing a fan motor. (which by the way I havn't finished yet.

I thought while I have the glove box out, I will replace my gauge faces with white ones and red back lights.

It turns out the gauges are harder to get out than I thought.

I think it will look good when done. My car is white so it should look natural.

Thanks.

If anyone is interested I have the white gauge faces in a .jpg file.

They could be printed on a vinyl paper or sticker type paper and cut out. The cutting may be difficult but I think it could be done.

Mark sounds like you got WIAI (while I'm at it) syndrom don't let it take over .

Try these from the FSM and see if it helps. Like montoya_fan01 says it should just unscrew.

Hope this time the pics will go through right.
