Pulling The Oil Preasure Gauge Out Of a 64

[Steve G.]

Is it possible to pull out the oil preasure and temp gauge out of the dash of my 64 without having to remove the whole cluster? I just put the cluster back in and need to have the oil preasure gauge recalibrated. I dont know if there's enough space even if I pull the cluster forward with the extra long bolts I used to hold it while I hooked everything back up. I think if I remove the parking brake bracket and ignition it may work but want to hear from others first. Thanks

Steve,
I just did this myself. I used the 1/4-20 threaded rods to slide the dash out, lowered the steering column, removed the ignition switch and the tach cable. I had to replace the temperature gauge in mine and thats what I had to do plus I replaced that pesky dash light bulb in the center!
It's not a fun job but better than pulling the whole thing back out.

Good Luck,
Steven
