HOOYA -

I just took some pictures of an instrument panel I removed from a 1989.
You'll have a spring clip you have to press in towards the panel while you pull the cable out. The cable is not threaded - it's just locked into place by this spring clip. After you do that you'll have to disconnect the tach connection.

I hope this helps you out a little - I'm on the West Coast and I have to hit the sack now - I work graveyard shift. I'll post the pics tommorow before 12:00 noon West Coast time.

Odometer cable!
I know the speedo has a cable & its held on by the clip mentioned.You have to pull the cluster far enough away from the dash.Then reach behind the cluster & push that clip.The cable housing will then release.There are no other devices holding the cluster on.Other than the two bottom 10mm nuts.
