5. To replace, reverse the removal procedure.
SPEEDOMETER REPLACEMENT
1.
Remove instrument cluster as previously described
in this section.
2.
Remove clock set shaft knob.
3.
Remove eight screws securing cluster housing to
bezel trim panel. Separate parts carefully observing
stack up of parts.
4.
Remove two screws securing speedometer head to
rear of cluster housing.
NOTE:
Servicing of the speedometer head
should be performed by an authorized AC Speed-
ometer Service Station.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure..
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Replacement or Lubricatibn
1.
Disconnect the speedometer cable from the speed-
ometer head. Remove the old cable by pulling it out
from speedometer end of conduit.
NOTE:
If old cable is broken it may be neces-
sary to remove lower piece from transmission
end of conduit.
2.
Lubricate the lower 3/4 of cable with speedometer
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
1.
Ignition on, engine not running and telltale light off.
a. Indicator bulb burned out, replace bulb.
b.
Open circuit or loose connection in the telltale
light circuit.
2.
Telltale light stays on after engine is started.
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)
and replace with new unit.
3.
Refill cooling system and check operation of unit.

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.

5. Remove the ignition switch. Refer to Section 6Y
for removal procedure. Then disconnect ignition

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.

section
of the
wiper
and is
driven by the wiper unit gear
assembly (fig. 93).

port thereby supplying vacuum to the Servo unit.
During system operation
the
following events occur:
1.
Car
speed below
20
mph—no function
of the
unit
because
the
rubber drum
has
not rotated
far
enough
to close
the
solenoid points.
No
energizing current
can flow through the solenoid coil.
2.
Car
speed above
20
mph—The tang
on the
rubber
drum
has
closed
the
solenoid points
and
current
is
flowing through
the 40 ohm
resistance wire
to the
solenoid coil. This current
is
not sufficient to "pull
in", the solenoid.
3.
Driver partially presses Engagement Switch—full
voltage flows through
the
solenoid
to
pull
it
into
operation. Solenoid
cam
tension
on the "U"
clip
is
released and the clip grips the rubber drum. Simul-
taneously the vacuum switch operates; applying man-
ifold vacuum
to the
Servo unit which tightens
the
throttle chain. When
the
driver releases pressure
from
the
accelerator pedal
the
unit will position the
throttle
to
maintain the speed
at
the time
of
solenoid
operation.
Driver releases
the
Engagement Switch—current
flows
to the
solenoid through
the 40
ohm wire and
since the solenoid is "pulled in", the reduced current
flow
is
sufficient to hold
it
in position.
The
car
begins
to
ascend
a
hill—car speed drops
slightly (very slightly) and the magnetic force on the
driven disk
of the
speed sensor
is
decreased.
The
disk rotates slightly
(as
would
a
speedometer shaft
because
of
hairspring tension) turning
the
rubber
drum. Since
the "U"
clip
is
gripping
the
drum,
it
moves
the
slide which COVERS
the air
bleed ports
more. With less air bleeding into the Servo, greater
vacuum exists
in it
and the diaphragm moves toward
the vacuum port opening
the
throttle wider.
The
tapered needle moves into the orifice further and the
diaphragm balances
in a
new position with the wider
throttle opening.
Car
speed
has
been maintained
automatically.
