Well, it looks like I'm going to have to get to the tach. In looking at
my books, I don't see explicit instructions on how to remove the
instrument cluster. I found 4 nuts under the dash that when removed
loosened up the binnicle but it still won't come off (the speedo cable
was disconnected at the little box near the pedals). Am I going about
this the right way? Would this be the same way one would replace a
burned out indicator bulb?
