Gauges about to fall out?????

[Ramblin Reck]

My gauges look to me that they are about to leave their assigned spot and end up on the deck. Any suggestions? None of them work except for the Temp gauge. That may be the only thing holding it in there!

The bezel has separated from the housing.That gauge(or at least all faces-except temp) are incorrect for your car.Its for 39 Std. Easier to get to it by pulling the speedo ,then reach in and undo the 3 nuts holding it in.Remove the temp unit before undoing the 3 nuts..3 screws secure it to the housing.


Here is a pic I pulled off the internet of what your gauges should be.

Interesting. Thanks for your observation of it being a Std not Deluxe gauges.

Thanks! Is it a difficult job to disconnect the speedo cable? And that is needed because it is in the way of the gauge cluster ?

[deuce lover]

No.Piece of cake.Just unscrew the nut of the cable collar that screws into the speedo.Move it out of the way then remove the dash light bulb sockets.Can't remember exactly how they are secured. Then the 3 nuts that secure the speedo to dash.Pull speedo out and now easy access to remove the gauge cluster.

Yup! Worst part is laying on your back under the dash. A head lamp that you wear on your head will help to see. I also like to disconnect the car battery.
