Well I got my new gauge cluster prettied up, rolled back the odometer to match my actual miles, and got the dash taken apart. Then found that my speedometer cable won't come out of the original cluster. Two screws holding it in, and I gave up cause I was stripping them. It's all half-assed put back together now with some of the screws and a non-functioning gear indicator.

Frosty, I am partially to blame for the RTV on that t-housing

.... Kevin wanted to do it himself and I only said "be sure to put alittle rtv to hold the gasket to the head while you get everything lined up...
