I just ordered some white face guages with blue lettering and I want to mach my clock and all the controls on the center console.

Can I disasemble the clock?
And how can I get the center dash peice off?
(I have a 82)

 

The piece that shrouds the shift lever pops out, but usually the tabs break off in the process. Just try to be careful, but I know no "trick" to keep them in tact. (I think it's just an age issue.)
This will expose two screws for the bottom of the cosole cover. The top is anchored on by the nuts that hold the air controls in place. Yank the *****, and take the nuts off. Voila.

I got a shitload of clocks. You send me a picture of your model, and I'll see what I can dig up for you, should you happen to screw it up trying to change the color, ect.

Five bucks a pop, plus shipping.

 

Awww...an 82.
I described what it was like for my 85. Still have clocks from your year, though.
