Category: Early C Bodies – The Slab Side Years

Hi! I’ve got my gauge cluster out. It felt like a risky venture pulling it. I did drop the steering column down. Also, iremoved the adjacent bezel panels. But it was very, very tight in between the upper and lower dash pieces. It felt like i was going to break something. Soon I’ll be installing it. I’m a bit worried. Is there a better way, or trick to doing this? Maybe some KY?

I just changed the old bulbs to some new led bulbs in my gauge cluster. I did it because it barely lit up with the old bulbs in it. Now the new LEDs mostly don’t light up at all. I got one of them to light up just a little bit. I’m thinking that the dimmer switch Isn’t sending enough voltage. On top of this the switches action is poor. Is there a way to bypass it? Or should I just by a new one. They’re a bit pricey. That’s my only hesitancy.

Just trying to get a better idea of what might be in the car. Currently has a rebuilt 360 under the hood, bench seat. Good…
