<VV> manifold pressure gauge tube

[jeandelucca at aol.com]

hello, i will be replacing the manifold pressure gauge tube on? my 63 spyder. the shop manual does not seem to mention this. i am open to suggestions/ shortcuts to ease this job. does the instrument cluster have to come off/or forward? how? the shop manual supplement is vague in this area also. it basically shows just removing just the large 2 screws on the underside and pulling forward. i do not want to force or break anything. all tips would be appreciated. thans, jim
