I did this once before, so I know I'm going to feel stupid when someone
tells me the trick....
I'm trying to get the gauge out to upgrade the hose.=C2=A0 I can get one of=
the
knurled nuts on the U-bracket free, but not the one on the top. I have the
speedometer out, and am reaching in through that hole, able to get a finger
or a finger and a half on the nut.=C2=A0 But not enough to turn it,
It didn't look like removing the tach would provide any better access.
Does anyone out there know a trick?
Stu

Another part of the problem was where to relocate the heater core and
re-route the air vent hoses and coolant hoses.

IIRC Chrysler V-8's of the era not only had the distributor problem, but
they were also much wider.=C2=A0 The budget to do a major redesign of the e=

compartment, as well as meet the new '68 safety (or was it bumper?)

Urban myth is just that, a myth when it comes? to Sunbeam Tiger=20
distributors and engines causing it to be discontinued.
One good description from:=20
https://autouniversum.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/1968-u-s-lawmakers-introduce=
-automotive-safety-standards/
The first set of rules took effect exactly fifty years ago, January=20
1968; less than fifteen months after the agency was established.
Most of the new regulations simply codified best practice; requiring all=20
vehicles to have padded instrument panels, recessed inside door handles,=20
non-rigid armrests, breakaway inside mirrors, labeled controls,=20
twin-circuit brakes, two-speed wipers covering a minimum percentage of=20
the windscreen area, a left-hand outside mirror, reversing lamps and=20
four-way hazard flashers.
Other regulations required new features: energy-absorbing steering=20
columns, a warning lamp for brake circuit depressurization, minimal=20
post-collision fuel spillage, front and rear side marker lights or=20
reflectors, and windscreens with thicker-interlayer safety glass and=20
improved retention. Finally, all vehicles had to survive a 30 mph (48=20
kph) crash into a concrete barrier demonstrating survivability of=20
standardized test dummies in the front seats.
etc...
