Hmm, I don't remember it was a brand new circuit board though.
Why me again? Need help please!

No. You should be able to reach up and pop the old one out of its connectors.

Disconnect the battery. With a mirror look at the back of the cluster and locate the voltage limiter. See if You can get your hand in to unplug it. If so You got it made in the shade. If not well.....
The voltage limiter and/or regulator limits the voltage to the Temp And Fuel gauges to a constant 4-5 volts. On very RARE occasions when the limiter goes bad it will spike the volts to the gauges and fry them. I have had it happen MAYBE twice in 50 yrs. Mostly they just die.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Forgot, there may be a condenser plugged on to the limiter.... no biggy just unplg it and plug it back on the limiter.

For us old farts, having the seat out of the way sure helps...at least with me it does lol. Never liked working under a dash in the first place and now that I'm 72, I absolutely hate it!!
Yup, I know just what you mean!
Old farts and tall farts......and less flexible farts......seat out always makes it easier.

73 heading for 74. My lower back is junk and I have 2 neck fusions but, I still spent a lot of time under the dash in the 65 Belvedere I'm building. The hand "Aurther" does restrict what I can do. As long as my hand fits handle bar grips and beer cans I can live with it!

When I was in my twenties, thirties & even forties getting under the dash with the seat in was no problem... Now that I'm in my mid sixties pulling the seat matters....And yes IVR (Instrument Voltage Regulator) And yes it can be changed without pulling the dash...

One question, does the car have A/C? If yest the job just got more challenging.... Not impossible. just more challenging..
It has classic a/c but I only have the blower in. The defroster and one hose is routed on the passenger side. It won't be in the way.
FWIW, I managed to change mine from under the dash…
