If you remember I drilled a hole thru my cluster gauge circuit board to installl the wiring/vac line to the Vac gauge! Well I replaced the board and didn't connect the speedo cable, the turn signals worked but both lights would fliker on/off and the temp gauge worked when it felt like it. Well I ordered a new board since I kinda messed up the 1st new one. Well, after working in my garage around 95 degrees for two days, I finally installed board #2 after two years! Hooked up the speedo and replaced all the bulbs with Sylvania Osram 2825. Changed the tint of the Vac gauge. I like the blueish tint reflected from the light blue factory cluster inside paint. I installed the speedo cable by undoing it in the engine compartment and pushing it thru the firewall to give enough slack to hook up to the gauge. There was no way for my hand to reach thru the maze of wiring harness and brackets under the dash. Now everything works!
