Dash lights on a 73
I have 2 dash lights that have gone out. They should illuminate the right side of the speedo & the left side of the tach. what needs to be done to replace them?

I reached mine from the underside of the dash. you might have to drop the steering column a bit. It is a pita but it's better than pulling the dash out.
lotsa luck
Refer to a manual to see exactly where they are connected
on the back of the speedo and tach (these lights "plug in"
to the back of each gauge.) If you are lucky and they are on
the bottom of the gauges you might be able to replace easily-
that means lying on your back with a light and changing.
If not lucky you are in for a major project - take the drivers
dash off - while you are there replace all bulbs.
Yup. PITA. Go slowly. It's easy to have the lamp sockets pop off only to leave the little metal contacts stuck in the cluster. Worse yet, fall into the speedo/tach.
