Holy Schmeezle! I feel better now.

Yeah, I am finding that none of the new parts are playing well with the original parts and most of the original parts where hacked back together by the previous owners without the correct hardware. I have to remember that this car is what it is. It's a car to tinker with, enjoy and drive and it's not a show car and it's not a precision instrument. It's about the experience of driving it. At least it's now put back together now better that it has been in the last 20 years.

I had to pull the dash on my 75 so I could replace the tachometer circuit board. I thought it was going to be a disaster but it was fairly easy. Taking the dash pad out was the scariest! I felt like it was going to snap in half but it didn't. Now the tach works and I replaced all of those light bulbs while I had it out.
