You are in for a real treat putting that back in. I did it last year on my 70 and it took a good few hours on something that on most cars would take a few minutes. I had my dash apart and it still was a bear. You can only work with one hand and can only see it with one eye due to everything in the way. Good luck!

Were you trying to reach the top left nut? That one's tough.

Actually reached top left nut by removing neutral safety switch (hence my prob and original plea for help) and used 3/8 extension, impact driver and universal. Bit of a hail mary
