Question
What do I have to do to remove the instrument cluster on my 65 Rambler American so I can replace the volt. regulator?
Am I looking to remove clips or nuts %26 where are they?
Thanks, Bob

Answer
You should be able to remove a few phillip head screws and pop the instrument cluster out. Place a rag over the steering column to prevent scratches. You will have to unhook the speedo cable from the back of the speedo, and unplug the multiple connectors on the back of the circuit board.
