Re: [Chevelle-List] R&R El Camino Dash

Good answer Bill,  When I pulled my dash in my 71 Chevelle that elusive bolt by the steering column caused a lot of headache until I found it.  As I recall ACES had a magazine article on R and R of the dash when the did the L78 car.  Shameless plug for ACES!

There are two lower bolts, one on each side, that you access from below. Then there is one that hides between the steering column and the dash. That one is easy to miss. All you have to do is take the two nuts loose that hold the steering column to the bracket and the steering column will drop low enough to gain access to it. If you forget that one its real easy to crack 30 year old plastic. Don't forget to take the parking brake release lever loose first. Release the clip and you can leave the lever in the dash while you remove it. All the wiring should unplug if it hasn't been messed with.
