That tells you how to get at it and get it out.

And that’s how I fixed the one in my ‘77.

Good luck!

The most important steps are HOW you get the nuts loose on those [brittle pot-metal] threaded posts at the bottom of the gauge bezel AND how you manipulate that bezel to pull it out of its 'nest' without breaking those posts off. If you get those steps right and are careful with documenting where all the wires are connected and routed, the process will not be difficult.

If you just pull it apart, pull all the wires an oil tube off, and THEN think about how it goes back together.....you're TOAST!!

You might want to get a new oil pressure line with the proper connectors while you're in there.

The wires only connect one way so that should not be a problem.



This oil gauge is electric you have a hose at that location.
