5. Remove the ignition switch. Refer to Section 6Y

for removal procedure. Then disconnect ignition

switch lamp support at instrument panel.

6. Disconnect oil pressure line at oil pressure gauge

then remove the lead wires from ammeter, wiper

switch and cigarette lighter. Disconnect trip odom-

eter at mast jacket support.

7. Remove the instrument cluster-to-dash retaining

screws and pull cluster assembly slightly forward

to obtain clearance for removal of speedometer

cable, tachometer cable, cluster ground wire, fuel

gauge lead wires and remaining indicator and cluster

illuminating lamps.

8. To install cluster in dash panel, reverse removal

procedure.

FUEL GAUGE

The gasoline fuel gauge circuit consists of an electri-
cal indicator in the instrument cluster and a float-

controlled rheostat in the fuel tank.

Since the fuel gauge consists of two remotely located

units and connecting wires, it is sometimes difficult to

determine which unit is at fault when the gauge fails to

operate properly. Cluster removal is necessary to re-

place the fuel gauge.

NOTE:
Be sure to check gas gauge fuse in fuse

panel before attempting to trouble shoot for

inoperative gauge or tank sending unit.

SPEEDOMETER AND/OR TACHOMETER

Removal and Installation

Cluster must be removed from vehicle to service

speedometer head assembly (see Cluster Removal pro-

cedure)
.
With cluster removed from vehicle:

1.
Remove five screws securing cluster back panel to

cluster assembly; separate the parts carefully.

CAUTION: Care must be used to avoid marring

instrument cluster face.

2.
Remove two screws securing speedometer or ta-

chometer head to cluster back panel; carefully re-

move speedometer or tachometer head.

NOTE:
Servicing of speedometer or tachom-

eter head should be performed by an authorized

AC service station.

3.
Reverse above procedure to install speedometer.

Cable Replacement or Lubrication

1.
Disconnect the. cable from the speedometer or ta-

chometer head. Remove the old cable by pulling it

out from speedometer end of conduit.

NOTE:
If old cable is broken it may be nec-

essary to remove lower piece from transmission

or distributor end of conduit as applicable.

2.
Lubricate the lower 3/4 of cable with
AC
speedom-

eter cable lubricant and push the cable into the con-

duit. Connect the upper end to the speedometer or

tachometer head and road test vehicle for proper

operation.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature indicator requires very little service

other than testing for malfunctioning and replacing de-

fective units. Cluster must be removed to service tem-

perature gauge.

Do not attempt to repair either the engine unit or the

gauge. When installing new engine unit, do not use

thread compound on unit threads, as this will increase

electrical resistance of unit and cause faulty reading

on gauge.

AMMETER OR OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

The ammeter or oil pressure gauge requires very

little attention other than keeping ammeter terminals

clean and tight. If the oil pressure control line should

become restricted it should be blown out or replaced.

Cluster must be removed to service these gauges.

NON-DEPRESSED PARK WIPER

CHEVELLE, CHEVY II AND CAMARO

The Type "E" two-speed electric windshield wiper

assembly (fig. 64) incorporates a non-depressed type

(blades park approximately 2" above windshield molding)

motor and gear train. The rectangular, 12 volt, com-

pound wound motor is coupled to a train consisting of a

helical drive gear at the end of the motor armature shaft,

an intermediate gear and pinion assembly, and an output
gear and shaft assembly. The crank arm is attached to

the output gear shaft.

Two switches, connected in parallel, control the start-

ing, stopping and parking of the Type "E" wiper motor.

The manually operated start, stop switch is located on

the instrument panel, while the cam operated park switch

is located in the wiper gear box.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 2-speed windshield wiper
(fig. 91)
consists
of a

compound wound
12
volt dc motor and
a
gear box section

containing
the
gear mechanism
and
relay control.
The

motor armature
is
fitted with
a
worm gear which drives

the main gear assembly and crank arm.

The relay control, consisting
of a
relay coil, relay
armature
and
switch assembly,
is
located in the gear
box"

section and controls the starting and stopping of the wiper

through
a
latching mechanism (fig. 92).

An electric .washer pump
is
mounted
on the
gear box

section
of the
wiper
and is
driven by the wiper unit gear

assembly (fig. 93).

WIPER ASSEMBLY REPAIRS

The overhaul procedures for the wiper are broken down

into three major areas: The motor section, gear box

section and washer pump section. Each section may be

serviced independently of the other.

MOTOR SECTION

Disassembly

1.
Remove the two motor tie bolts.

2.
Remove the armature end-play adjusting screw (fig.

91).

3.
Strike the steel case lightly with a mallet to partiaUy

loosen it from the die casting housing and motor

field.

4.
Insert a tool through the armature adjusting screw

opening and push against the end of the armature

shaft to back off the case. This will retain the ar-

mature commutator in position between the brushes

until ready to separate the armature from the case.

5.
To separate armature from case while still retaining

the brush springs and brushes in place fashion a

spring similar to that shown in Figure 95 and insert

behind the brush leads as shown.
Fig.
95 - Retaining Armature Brushes

6. Pull the armature out of the case and remove the felt

washer, thrust plate, and rubber thrust disc from the

case assembly bearing as required.

7.
The field windings are pressed into the gear housing

and further disassembly is not recommended; how-

ever, the field leads may be unsoldered from the

brush holders to remove the case.

8. Clean and inspect all parts.

Inspect both the field and armature for damage

due to overheating such as unsoldered electrical

connections.

Check that brush leads are firmly attached both

to the brushes and their connections at the brush

holders.

Check brushes for wear. If brushes are worn to

within 3/16" of brush lead, or pigtail, they should be

replaced.

Check contacts of circuit breaker shown at top of

Figure 95. Clean as required or file lightly to re-

move irregularities.

Inspect all leads from the brush and circuit

breaker plate for worn insulation or tjreaks.

If it was determined by inspection that brush re-

placement was required, proceed as follows:

a. Remove retainer installed during disassembly and

remove brush springs.

b.
Place a hot soldering iron against*brush lead con-

nection on brush holders, remove old bushes, and

nection on brush holders, remove old brushes,

and install new brushes.

c. To reinstall brushes in holders, compress spring

within holder and hold fully compressed with a

thin instrument inserted through the slot in the

brush holder. Then push brush into holder with

lead upward to project through slot in holder, hold
