My Fluke meter LED display was having a problem with dead segments.  I was able to buy new conductive strips for the display from Amazon and that took care of the problem. I should get another 50 years of service out of it.

I did mine without removing the main door glass.  Of course I managed to break a bolt inside the door so it took considerably longer than 3 hours.  I'm sure you will have better luck with your project.

I have a Bosch timing light that I bought a few years ago when my Craftsman light I have had since high school quit. I really like it.

Quiet!!! Don’t let Ford know you were able to fix it affordably. If they find out, they will combine the switch with the transmission controller and the left rear turn signal bulb and the right interior door lights and power locks, requiring a $400 switch replacement.

That's probably true.  The fix was under $30.

I have been loosing my blower fan speeds slowly on my F 150. I don't really know when I lost #1 but soon I noticed I needed to switch to #3 just to get air flow.  A quick Google search found Ford was still using a resistor block in the duct for fan speed control. I got a new part and everything is working again. I was surprised that 50+ year old resistors were what they were still using for speed control. 
To make this Mustang related, I had to walk past the 66 to get to my tool box.

It did not come with a wiring harness. It was pretty easy to make one though.  The gauges were mounted in a new bezel and came with sending units. There was an extra cost for the sender for the speedometer. Shipping was fast and they answered the couple of questions I had.  The gauges in my avatar are not the new ones.

I put one in my coupe.  I did have to make some adjustments due to the boot I used.  It does fit.

A modified C clamp works well like Rudi said.  That's how I did mine.
