ahhhh... this helps big time, thanks!
My ashtray housing that came with the car only has a slot on the bottom for the tab then held in place with a screw on top. What is the purpose of the other two tabs? Or do I have the wrong housing?

lol ..I was referring to the tabs on the dash. There is only one slot in the housing for a tab, on the bottom.
For sure are ya coming with by golly yumpin yiminy. (I speak Norskitota too although I am only a Dak by transfer via USAF my native tongue is Connecticut Yankee...."Pahrking ya cahr in da gahrage, it's a good ideer"
Are ya on the Western slope or eastern slope? My girlfriend is from Grand Junction, we were there a month ago. Hot as hell.

My zwitter has only one screw on the inside top of the ashtray, and looks like it fits a tab on the bottom, no support like the in the post above?

53 ovals had everything listed above..................The really only difference was the ash tray and arrows on the speedo. If you're talking about 54-57 ovals .......................you are correct. (but you already know that Eric  )
