Took off my cluster cover to change a few light bulbs and now I can't seem to fit the speedometer back in the little hole back there, this is the second time I change lightbulbs and I don't recall having any issue with the speedometer, before, but now the nose in the back of the speedometer cannot be shoved far enough into the little hole back there to fit flush against the gauge cluster. Any tips, anyone?

Have you unhooked the cable from the spring clamp? If not reach up behind and pull down on the spring tab while pulling the cable towards firewall and install gauge then push cable back in and it should click once ingauged into speedo.

I don't have it anymore. Don't know what I did with it, it musta fell off and become lost when I took the cluster off. Trying to find a new one, does it look like this?
