1968 PART CONFUSION???


Recommended Posts

I am doing a full overhaul of my 68 cadillac coupe deville and after taking the dash apart...cleaning everything...and proceeding to put it back together...I realised that a part I took apart doesn't seem to go anywhere...

it is CLEAR plastic...(the whole piece)

it is in the shape of a 'J' with a small hook type lip...

it has a notch towards to hook end...

and the numbers on it are: 6458etc

any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

thanks in advance

Chris,

You have taken your dash apart and you haven't seen this part when it was in pieces??

If this is so, I don't know what to say...I wonder where the hell it came from then...

In regards to Jim,

I also thought it might conduct light so I tryed to find anything on or in my dash that might conduct light.....but to no avail....

thanks alot guys,

anymore information would be great.

Myles

ps Is the consensus here that it doesn't belong in or on my 68 dash??

well,

when I say "take apart" i mean i've had the dash in and out of the car a few times. I never took apart any of the brackets or anything like that...it always remained in 1 piece. But if it was something for lighting I think i would definately recongnize it.

I wouldn't worry about it, but keep it just in case.

Sorry man, I looked everywhere on mine and in my service manual, I didn't see anything like that anywhere. But hold on to it, it may jog your memory in a couple weeks :lol: . Post some pics of your car too, I'd love to see some.

I GOT THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a Bob Hoffman (AKA the cadi-dadi) has indicated in a different forum that indeed it does go in my 68 dash and it

(quote) goes behind & above the speedometer needle & distributes lite evenly back there (unquote)

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE INFORMATION FOR THE OTHER FORUM!!!!!

and again, thanks for taking the time to think about my question...

(maybe I'll post some pics of the car when I get a chance!!)
