GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Chevelle instrument cluster assembly consists
of:

a speedometer;
a
fuel gauge;
a
generator,
an
engine
tem-

perature and an
oil
pressure indicator lamp, and includes

a clock
on
deluxe models.
On
super sport models,
am-

meter, coolant temperature
and oil
pressure gauges
re-

place
the
appropriate indicator lights. Except
for the

speedometer,
all of the
indicator lamps, instruments
and

gauges
of
these clusters may
be
serviced without remov-

ing
the
instrument cluster assembly from
the
vehicle.

In addition
to the
instrument indicator lamps,
a
brake

warning lamp
is
included
in the
cluster
as
standard

equipment.
The
indicator
is
connected
to the
parking
brake
and
brake pressure differential switches
and

serves
a
dual function.
It
lights when the parking brake

is applied
and
also when
the
brake pedal
is
applied,
if a

malfunction should occur
in the
brake system
due to a

loss
of
hydraulic pressure. Servicing
of the
hydraulic

pressure differential switch
is
covered
in
Section
5 of

this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on the instrument

cjLuster
or its
components other than maintaining dean

and tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer cable properly lubricated.
