    Do you mean dash pad or instrument cluster?

    Dash pad. My instrument cluster is all set. (An aftermarket tach is over the clock, I kind of want the clock back haha, may move the tach). The fuel gauge instrument isn't working though, but I suspect it's just wiring, so I'm filling up quite often.

    The entire interior including the dash was originally green, but was all painted over black, dash is damaged up top and resulted in two cracks along the top.

    Bruno, not sure what you mean by pointy or flat, the lenses on the instruments are flat if that's it. Do you have pictures? Thanks, oh and happy birthday.

    Ah okay. I have non-AC. If they never get to it, keep me in mind :) No rush though, and they were there first heh.

    You should add at least your first name to your signature line.....just an idea.

    As for the fuel gage not working, make sure your ground wire from the sending unit is good.....it connects to the body above the rear axle with a 1/4" hex head sheet metal screw that goes into the gas tank support which is welded to the bottom of the trunk pan...make sure the connection is clean.

    Done. Thanks for the tip George, I'll crawl back under there again soon to see if it's even still connected. Just got done changing the oil at 10pm before this snowstorm hits tomorrow. Looks like I need to replace a head gasket, sigh.
