Sorry I thought this year came this way? It's actually black and not the woodgrain. Was this what they called a Sportspack?

Ahhh.... you didn't say you had a wood dash panel! I was talking about the stock 2 or 3 gauge cluster in front of the steering wheel. Mo wood, no glove box!

Got it. From the radio opening you can reach to the right side of the instrument cluster panel. There is a wing nut that you remove. After that the panel swings on the left side out of the dashboard.

Tried pulling and wiggling. Will not budge. Should it be that tight? Maybe some plastic interior trim removal tools?

If you have the 2- or 3- gauge cluster, the front of it is held on by spring clips that grasp the plastic. Grip it with both hand and gently wiggle it loose. Then you will see the actual gauge pack is held on with bolts. Easy from there. Ve careful unclipping te old able and clipping on the new one - easy to break the plastic.

Have to install speedo cable and connect and tidy up wiring. Turn signals don't work after digging up in there for the cable. Thanks!
