1968 Cutlass speedometer R&R
so I want to replace the speedometer with a floor shift version in my 68 Vista Cruiser which I've converted to bucket seats.. I know how to take it out once I get to it, my question is how do I get to it and access it. Looks to me like dropping the steering column will not help all that much.
Any pointers thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. You need to get up under the dash and remove the screws that hold the pod to the dash pad. Removing the front seat so you can lie flat on the floor makes it suck slightly less. When I was much younger, I spent a lot of time with my head under the dash and my legs draped over the seatback. It hurts to even think about that these days.

X3 on leaving the seats out it will provide much easier access. Get an assembly manual. You will need to modify the neutral safety system. Ill assume you are installing a console...if you are converting to a floor shift speedo. The console floor brackets are reproduced.
