GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard Camaro instrument cluster assembly con-

sists
of two
circular units which house
the
speedometer

and fuel gauge assemblies.
The oil
pressure, left-hand

directional
and
brake warning indicators
are
located
in

the face
of the
speedometer bezel while generator,
tem-

perature
and
right-hand directional indicators are grouped

with
the
fuel gauge unit.
The
high beam indicator
is

located between
the
cluster bezels.

A special instrumentation package
is
available with
the

eight-cylinder engine
and
center floor console combina-

tion.
The
special cluster includes:
a
clock; coolant

temperature,
oil
pressure, fuel
and
ammeter gauges,

mounted forward
on the
seat separator console;
a ta-

chometer
in the
right circular housing
of the
dash
in-

strument cluster; and
a low
fuel level indicator replacing

the
oil
pressure indicator lamp
in the
instrument cluster.

The instruments
and
gauges,
may be
serviced only

after
the
instrument cluster
is
removed from
the
vehicle.

Indicator
and
cluster lamps except
for the
high beam

indicator
may be
replaced without removing
the
cluster

assembly. Partial cluster removal
is
necessary when

replacing
the
high beam indicator due
to its
proximity
to
the upper brace
rod
anchor plate.
The
bulbs
are in-

stalled
in
plastic sockets which lock into
the
cluster

housing and make contact with
the
printed circuit.

A
low
level fuel warning system
is a
special feature

available with
the
floor console gauge pack. This
sys-

tem includes
an
indicator lamp
in the
dash cluster and
a

semi-conductor unit senses
the
change
in
electrical
re-

sistance
of the
fuel system circuitry
as
variations
in

fuel level occur.
The
sensing device
is
replaced
as a

unit
if
found defective.

The brake warning light serves
a
dual purpose.
It

functions
as an
indicator when
the
parking brake
is ap-

plied
and
also
if
there
is a
malfunction (loss
of
hydraulic

pressure)
in the
brake system. Switches which provide

the signal
to
operate
the
light
are
located
at the
parking

brake assembly
and at the
brake master cylinder
in the

hydraulic lines. Service
of the
brake pressure differ-

ential switch unit
is
covered
in
Section
5 of
this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on
the
instrument

cluster
or its
components other than maintaining clean,

tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer properly lubricated.

consists of a single red light which will indicate an over-

heated engine condition.

an exhaust port on L-6 engines and in the inlet mani-

fold near water pump housing on V-8 engines).

tion of unit.

DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL

Directional signal assemblies provide as standard pro-

duction equipment a lane changing feature and hazard

warning system on all model applications. Two different

design switches are used as shown in Figure 55. Major

difference between the two units is that one type has can-

celling and detent springs which are serviceable, other-

wise both units are not repairable and must be replaced

as an assembly in service.

Due to the integral design relationship of the signal

switch and the energy absorbing steering column, refer-

ence should be made to Steering, Section 9 of this manual
whenever any service operations are performed on the

steering column. The directional signal switch replace-

ment procedures covered in this section are intended to

supplement the detail service operations outlined in Sec-

tion 9.

Special note should be taken of the fact that different

signal flasher units are used in Chevrolet models depend-

ent on the number of lamps to be operated. The hazard

warning unit, even though an integral component of the

directional switch assembly, requires the installation of

an additional flasher unit in the fuse panel capable of op-
