<VV> early dash bulbs

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i have changed them without removing the dash, by feel and laying on my  
messed up back. i have even changed the indicator lights for temp pressure on  
spyders that way...but it is not easy , so you can put a towel on the 
column and  tip the dash out far enough (usually) without undoing speedo cable 
and pg  cable.
UNHOOK THE BATTERY FIRST.
getting the metal sockets plugged back into the housing takes a  
knack...practice on a junk dash out of the car if you can, then you will  know.
hope this helps a little.    i can still do it by feel   and vocabulary  
(grows hair on yer ears!!).
