Unhook the cable from the carb, loosen the nut and pull it from the dash,

I wonder if I could just gently pull the gauge panel out and let it hang and then reach around that way? what do you think? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 | To pull the guages out, you have to disconnect the speedo, and intermediate harness....alot more work than one nut on the choke cable if you ask me. I lay on the floorboard and use a box end wrench, take you 2 min and the choke cable will be out. Like 48BIGTRUCKS said, disconnect from the carb first. | | |
