Installing new guage.

[Art Weatherly]

I got my new oil temp guage in today. I did indeed need a l-o-n-g phillips
screwdriver (acually a 14" extention for a 1/4 drive
ratchet set). Getting that inside screw out was the most time consuming part (
two trips tp K Mart for longer stuff).

So, it's done. Thanks for the guidance Ralph. Worked just like you said.

Hi Art:

**CAUTION** **CAUTION**

Remove the 4 bottom out side covers of the lower dash. If the lower dash
has been out before then it should lift up from the front edge and slip
forward a little. If it has not been out before then on the left side of
the lower dash, under one of the blank covers, will be a screw that has to
come out.

Now, with the lower dash panel slid forward, remove the cb mic from the
holder and take the long screw out that holds the cb mic holder. Now the
upper lower dash should be free on that side and if it has been removed it
will probably be free to tilt forward. If it has not been out before then
you need a looooong phillips screwdriver, hold the right side of the upper
lower dash out and reach in with the long phillips and un screw the far
left L bracket. In the bottom center of the upper lower dash, after the
lower panel is moved forward you should see a screw that needs to come out
as well. Now your upper lower dash panel should be free to tilt forward.
**CAUTION** Do NOT force it, if it won't come out enough to replace the
gauge, find what is holding it. I cannot stress **CAUTION** enough on this.

While your in there, remove the light sockets with the lamps from the other
gauges and clean or replace them.

Your going to find a "rats nest" of wiring under and behind both panels.
Remember if you drill, spindle or pierce any of those panels, they are shot
and cannot be brought back. Use only holes provided for screws and such.

Good luck
