Mark, perhaps that is part of my problem, But, my wiring schematic shows =
the dash instrument lights coming from the panel light switch, which =
gets its power from the main light switch.  The only thing my schematic =
shows coming from the instrument regulator are the 10 volts to the in =
tank fuel level resistance and to the temp sensor resistor.  Nothing =
going to lights at all. But the voltage stabilizer may indeed be =
farkled. When powered on, the fuel gage reads full and when off, slowly =
returns to 0 . The temp gage does not do anything.=20

As to dash lights, I have even tried putting voltage on the red with =
white stripe wire and grounding a bulbs socket to see if that light  =
works. Nothing.  =20

=20

I will see if I can get the stabilizer out and check its functionality. =
I suspect that I might be able to do that without removing it though? =
Like v=3Dusing a voltmeter on the GB wire from the =3Dstabilizer to =
ground.  Yeah, I=E2=80=99ll give that a try. =20

=20

Sure will be great to get dash lights and the temp and fuel gages =
working! Last items on my list. Part of my [problem stems from a long =
latency between when it was apart and now. I do remember that when I =
replaced the old dash that when I removed a gauge I put the wires back =
on in the same place so that when I put the new wood in everything, I =
thought, went back in the same location and terminal.=20

=20

Many thanks for the suggestions, new avenues to test!

Mayf,

Pretty sure the power to the gauges and dash lights come from the =
voltage stabilizer.  It's a little squarish, metal device about 2"x2" =
and is screwed to the support column that goes from the dash to the =
firewall (just to the right of the steering column). If you pull the =
wires off  be sure to label where each goes because the color coding of =
the wires will probably be faded. Not sure of a source for the =
stabilizer if that's the problem.

Ok, I am replacing and adding a couple of dash switches to my car.  The =
pieces I need are the chrome screw on switch bezel for use on the wood =
dash.  Is there a source for such?  I have the switches but sadly they =
do not come with them. =20

=20

And I am having the dickens of a time with the instruments: mostly with =
the dash lights. I know grounds are the typical source or cause of the =
problems and I have been attacking that as best I can.  Also there does =
not seem to be power to that circuit, even when I turn the lights on and =
the panel switch as well.  I replaced the fuse block and that did help. =
More voltage. Was pretty corroded. New one has a spiffy cover and I =
applied dielectric grease as well.  The wipers work, the horn honks the =
heater motor runs, have oil pressure, but no dash light or fuel level or =
temp. Also purchased a brake light switch as well. Turn signals work as =
does the green indicator light on the dash. Head lights ( high and low =
beams), turn signals and stop light all work. Part of the issue is size =
100 hands (big) in a size 3 under dash.  So I am going to keep after it. =
 Was there an wiring change in the MK1 production run? The wiring on my =
gas and temp gages does not look like the schematic.  If I look at the =
back side of the fuel gage and temp gage what wire goes where?

=20

Some remote help needed here=E2=80=A6 at least some advice or comment.
