cable lubricant and push the cable into the conduit.

Connect the upper end to the speedometer head and

road test vehicle for proper speedometer operation.

INDICATOR LIGHT REPLACEMENT

To replace any indicator or cluster bulb, unsnap the

proper socket from rear of instrument cluster, remove

and replace bulb, and reinsert unit into rear of cluster

housing.

OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR

If the light does not come on when the ignition switch
is turned on, or if the light comes on and remains on

after the engine is started, one or more of the following

conditions is indicated:

• Low oil pressure

• High engine temperature

• Defective wiring or switch

Switch Replacement

1.
Disconnect wiring harness connector from sender

unit terminal (located in block above starter on

L-6 engines and at left front of distributor on V-8

engines).

2.
Remove sender unit, replace with new unit, and

; check operation.

GENERATOR INDICATOR

a. If indicator light does not go out at engine idle

speed, refer to Charging Systems under Engine

Electrical, Section 6Y.

TEMPERATURE (COOLING SYSTEM) INDICATOR

The temperature indicator circuit consists of two re-

motely located units, indicator gauge and engine sender

unit. The indicator gauge on all models uses a single

red light to indicate an overheated engine condition.

Engine Sender Unit Replacement

1.
Drain engine cooling system to a level below unit.

2.
Remove sender unit (located in the inlet manifold

near water pump housing on V-8 engines and in the

cylinder head near an exhaust port on L-6 engines)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All Corvette instruments and gauges are conveniently

located in the dash-mounted cluster. The entire cluster

is removable to permit servicing of the various instru-

ments and gauges. The indicator and cluster illuminating

bulbs may be replaced without removing the cluster from

the panel.
Regular maintenance is not required on the instrument

cluster or its components other than maintaining clean

and keeping the speedometer and tachometer cables

properly lubricated.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard Camaro instrument cluster assembly con-

sists
of two
circular units which house
the
speedometer

and fuel gauge assemblies.
The oil
pressure, left-hand

directional
and
brake warning indicators
are
located
in

the face
of the
speedometer bezel while generator,
tem-

perature
and
right-hand directional indicators are grouped

with
the
fuel gauge unit.
The
high beam indicator
is

located between
the
cluster bezels.

A special instrumentation package
is
available with
the

eight-cylinder engine
and
center floor console combina-

tion.
The
special cluster includes:
a
clock; coolant

temperature,
oil
pressure, fuel
and
ammeter gauges,

mounted forward
on the
seat separator console;
a ta-

chometer
in the
right circular housing
of the
dash
in-

strument cluster; and
a low
fuel level indicator replacing

the
oil
pressure indicator lamp
in the
instrument cluster.

The instruments
and
gauges,
may be
serviced only

after
the
instrument cluster
is
removed from
the
vehicle.

Indicator
and
cluster lamps except
for the
high beam

indicator
may be
replaced without removing
the
cluster

assembly. Partial cluster removal
is
necessary when

replacing
the
high beam indicator due
to its
proximity
to
the upper brace
rod
anchor plate.
The
bulbs
are in-

stalled
in
plastic sockets which lock into
the
cluster

housing and make contact with
the
printed circuit.

A
low
level fuel warning system
is a
special feature

available with
the
floor console gauge pack. This
sys-

tem includes
an
indicator lamp
in the
dash cluster and
a

semi-conductor unit senses
the
change
in
electrical
re-

sistance
of the
fuel system circuitry
as
variations
in

fuel level occur.
The
sensing device
is
replaced
as a

unit
if
found defective.

The brake warning light serves
a
dual purpose.
It

functions
as an
indicator when
the
parking brake
is ap-

plied
and
also
if
there
is a
malfunction (loss
of
hydraulic

pressure)
in the
brake system. Switches which provide

the signal
to
operate
the
light
are
located
at the
parking

brake assembly
and at the
brake master cylinder
in the

hydraulic lines. Service
of the
brake pressure differ-

ential switch unit
is
covered
in
Section
5 of
this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on
the
instrument

cluster
or its
components other than maintaining clean,

tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer properly lubricated.

WINDSHIELD
WASHER PUMP

The windshield washer pump used on the 2-speed Type

"E"
wiper motor assembly is a positive displacement

type pump employing a small bellows, bellows spring and

valve arrangement. The pumping mechanism is actuated

by a four lobe cam and driven directly by the wiper motor

(fig. 71). Thus, when the wiper is operated, this rotor is

always turning with the gear. Programming is accom-

plished electrically and mechanically by a relay assembly

and ratchet wheel arrangement.

DEPRESSED PARK 2-SPEED WIPER

CHEVROLET

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Type "C" two speed electric wiper assembly (fig.

74) incorporates a depressed park type (blades park

against windshield lower molding when the motor is

turned off) motor and gear train. The wiper has a com-

pound wound 12 volt motor and a gear box section con-

taining 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 bid controls the starting and stopping of the wiper

through a latching mechanism (fig. 75).

An electric washer pump is mounted on the gear box

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

assembly (fig* 75).

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 maybe

serviced independently of the other.
