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 like when they turn out like this. The weather in Scottsdale has not been good the last couple of weeks. We are suppose to have the next week in the mid 70's. I will have to put the top down on the 72 and drive it a little.
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.
I loosened the lower dash pads then screwed the gauge bezel and wiper switch bezel loosely into place. Then slowly tightened each screw a little at a time until everything was tight and as straight as I could get.
