Replacing tachometer cable
I received my new cable from UPS yesterday and tried to get at it without removing anything from the drivers side panel. I couldn't see or feel the clip to release the cable.
I need to know what needs to come off the car in order to reach the cable. Thanks.

On my 73 I had to remove the duct that runs under the gages and then I could reach up to the spring metal clip that holds it to the tach, (same for the speedo). The clip is a metal blade that you push toward the gage and pull the cable out at the same time. It is easier if you have someone gently pull on the cable from the engine compartment once you have the clip pushed in.
To put it back on you just push the cable until the clip snaps back out.
