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

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.

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.
