Default A quick question

Anyone know where to get the clips that hold down the shifter bezel? I can't find them anywhere and I need them quite badly.

Also, I keep blowing the fuse that controls the voltimeter and tachometer and a bunch of other things. It's a 15 amp fuse and whenever I romp on the car in 1st, it'll blow randomly. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Any clue why?

Do you mean the steel clips that have threads in them? They go around the sheetmetal? The plastic bezel has clips molded into it to hold down to the console.

As for the electrical? Too much amperage? :P Not really sure.

The clips that hold the console bezel down to cover the hole where the shifter is. I can't find the damn things anywhere except in a clip.

Random fuse pops while hard accelerating are usually a result of a cut wire sheath causing a ground out in a loose harness associated with the fuse. Fuse 18, 15amp, protects: seatbelt buzzer, warning indicators, low coolant switch, low fluid monitor, instrument cluster. Any of those circuits could be grounding out. Check them all.

As for the clips, http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...Bezel-Clip-Kit
