Is there an easy way to do this? I want to get behind the dash to re-do the wiring. MS is going in soon, along with a new fuse box and many a relay. Any help would be appreciated. |

If you are trying to remove the entire dash you need to take out the windshield on an A body. I just pulled one from a 74 Valiant to go into my 70 Valiant, thats how I know. |

Damn. Any easy way to clear out most of the crap from under the dash? I want to be able to get to those firewall connections from the backside. |

when you disconnect the 3 connectors from under the hood you just squeeze the clips and it just pushes into the passenger compartment. |

70 valiant has you hooked up, some other things you can do to get behind there and make things a bit easier are: Remove the instrumnet cluster, remove the heaterbox, and remove the glove box.... all in all they're all equally a pain. -D.Idiot |

Instrument cluster is dead. Busted that out of there a while ago. May rig the speedo back in there somehow. I'll try taking the glovebox out too. I just need to get some room to work in there. There really aren't that many wires in the car |

If you need a cluster I have the one out of the 74 I can check and make sure everything works and make you a good deal. |

The only gauge I need from it is speedo. The rest will be upgraded. |

You can get to 90% of the wires by taking out the dash cluster. I got rid of the wiring harness on the firewall(actually, I still have three wires to remove before it's fully gone). You might consider replacing the speedo(not the bikini kind of course |

Removing the front seat is the best thing to do. It is amazing how much easier it is to work up under the dash when your not a pretzel. |
