I have not done much work with cars, and I am just wondering how in depth of a project is removing the dash to swap a clock? If anyone can tell me what to watch out for and what would be the best way to carry this out it would be a great help. Its a early 74 260. Thanks.

.............and replacement glove boxes are NLA from Nissan for 240Z's. So be as careful as you can, so as to minimize the damage that you do to it.

I don't know of any other glovebox that will work/fit in a 240Z.

Does anyone else?

As I recall, it is just two or three wires to unplug, and reconnect, and a bolt or nut to mount the clock. Getting at it is the tedious part. The actual removal and replacement is simple simon!

However, I always disconnect the battery when working on electrical, just in case I short something by accident.

When I did this, I went in trough the front by removing the heater/vent panel. But, in my case, I had an intire "laundry list" of items to care for while the dash was apart. I changed the clock, oil pressure/water temp gauge, light bulbs for the amp gauge and cig lighter, Installed the stereo and changed out the heater panel for a better one.

Only after the fact, while looking over my trashed glove box, did I relize I could get at the clock via that route.
