HOW DO YOU REMOVE THE ENTIRE DASH CONSOLE??????? (INCLUDING: GLOVE BOX, ASH TRAY, RADIO MOUNT, AND GAUGE CLUSTER AREA) I NEED TO GET BACK THERE TO REMOVE THE FINAL WIRE CLUSTERS THAT FEED INTO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry for the caps and multiple punctuations but this is a very, very urgent matter because I am getting extremely frustrated and my patience is wearing very thin very quickly with this project. And I can't call the company today because it's Sunday...

2 bolts on each end, 2 in the middle, remove speedo cable, drop steering column and theres 1 more bolt above it

Thank you very much Thunderstruck, btw, the pic of your car in front of the Chevrolet sign is my background, my favorite pic of a Chevelle all time, and it's the same paint scheme as mine, very cool car.

Do a search. This has been covered in detail.

Thank you guys a bunch, the day's work is done, the sun is down and the mosquitoes are out in full force. I removed the dash entirely and was able to remove the various wires behind it and ready to install the new panel wires. Got the engine section completely done except for the brake power switch, it's the one part of the engine bay I'm not familiar with...Is the brake power switch wire the one that runs directly under the steering wheel column in that brake thingy with the two brake lines entering it??? I pulled an orange (I believe?) wire from there and it has a plug boot connecting to this module bolted to the chassis under the steering wheel shaft; is this the old brake power switch???

Other than that, the engine compartment is done and looks very clean and professional, and the headlight section will be done early tomorrow morning after I finish that up, I plan to be working with that dash before noon tomorrow. Again, thanks a lot to all of you guys; you solved my problem once more.

Thanks,
Anthony
