I am trying to get my instrument panel out. It's a '65 with gauges. I have disassembled all switches and removed the screws that keep the bezel in place. But I can't get it off. I think it is the oil pressure (line?) which is still connected. How or where do I disconnect this line?? I've never seen this before...

Take a 5/16 in. wrench & unscrew the hex fitting. Do not start the engine with it removed.

Ask me how I know

I indeed planned to start the engine with the unit unplugged... :-) | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,799 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,799 | I started a 283 engine once with the oil pressure line disconnected out by the distributor. The shop had 12-foot ceilings, and oil was dripping off the light fixtures!
