SPARK PLUGS

CLEANING AND REGAPPING

Clean the spark plugs thoroughly, using an abrasive-

type cleaner. If the porcelains are badly glazed or

blistered, the spark plugs should be replaced. All spark

plugs must be of the same make and number or heat

range. Use a round feeler gauge to adjust the spark plug

gap to specifications (fig. 24i).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The standard instrument cluster on all models contains

seven circular housings consisting of: a speedometer;

fuel gauge; oil pressure, generator and temperature indi-

cators; right and left directional signal indicators; brake

warning and high beam indicators; and includes a clock

on deluxe models. An optionally available instrument

cluster provides special instrumentation which includes

in addition to the speedometer and clock: a tachometer;

fuel, oil pressure, ammeter and engine temperature

gauges; which replace the standard fuel gauge and indi-

cator lights. The brake warning indicator is relocated

to the tachometer dial face and the high beam and direc-

tional indicators are positioned in the speedometer dial

face.

Instrument cluster removal is recommended before at-

tempting to service the printed circuit and gauges even

though some units may be accessible from behind the

cluster. Limited working space under the instrument

panel increases the possibility of electrical malfunctions

due to poor connections, and damaged or improperly in-

stalled printed circuit. The printed circuit is service-

able but not repairable and requires complete
replacement.

The brake warning light serves a dual purpose. It

functions as an indicator when the parking brake is ap-

plied and also warns if a malfunction (loss of hydraulic

pressure) should occur in the brake system. The two

separate switches, which provide the signal to operate the

indicator, are located at the parking brake support and in

the hydraulic brake line at the master cylinder. Service

of the brake pressure, differential switch unit at the

master cylinder is described in Section 5 of this manual.

All indicator and cluster illumihating lamps may be

replaced without removing the cluster from the vehicle.

The bulbs are installed in plastic holders which lock into

the cluster housing and make contact with the printed

circuit. An instrument lamp is used to illuminate the

ignition switch. A special fibre optic lucite wiring

transmits light from the lamp to the switch.

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 cable properly lubricated.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Chevelle instrument cluster assembly consists
of:

a speedometer;
a
fuel gauge;
a
generator,
an
engine
tem-

perature and an
oil
pressure indicator lamp, and includes

a clock
on
deluxe models.
On
super sport models,
am-

meter, coolant temperature
and oil
pressure gauges
re-

place
the
appropriate indicator lights. Except
for the

speedometer,
all of the
indicator lamps, instruments
and

gauges
of
these clusters may
be
serviced without remov-

ing
the
instrument cluster assembly from
the
vehicle.

In addition
to the
instrument indicator lamps,
a
brake

warning lamp
is
included
in the
cluster
as
standard

equipment.
The
indicator
is
connected
to the
parking
brake
and
brake pressure differential switches
and

serves
a
dual function.
It
lights when the parking brake

is applied
and
also when
the
brake pedal
is
applied,
if a

malfunction should occur
in the
brake system
due to a

loss
of
hydraulic pressure. Servicing
of the
hydraulic

pressure differential switch
is
covered
in
Section
5 of

this manual.

Regular maintenance
is not
required on the instrument

cjLuster
or its
components other than maintaining dean

and tight electrical connections, replacing defective parts

and keeping
the
speedometer cable properly lubricated.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER

A circuit breaker in the light control switch protects

the headlamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. A

separate circuit breaker protects the power window,

seat and top circuits. On Corvettes the headlamp motor
circuit is also protected by a separate circuit breaker.

Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker

rapidly opens and closes, protecting the circuit until

the cause is found and eliminated.
