79 Tach Printed Circuit
I need to replace the printed circuit thing on my tach. I got all the bulbs out but the clips on the tach are still holding it. How do these come out. I pryed on them a little but I don't want to wreck anything. Any ideas ?

The clips push out from the inside.. but be careful not to break them. If you pinch inward they should release... If you use pliers... you probably will break them.
I have a very limited supply of these left, but I do have them should you need one.

OK...I have the allen screws of on the front. What next ? Do I have to take the tach needle off ? That sounds pretty scary. It's sits at 3000 right now. Or does the whole thing come out just by removing the 3 hex screws on the face ?
