Electrical nightmare, 1968 cluster lights, parking lights, horn, etc.

If high beam is faint but high and low beams work, its prob a bad ground from the bulb socket to the circuit board.

Thanks, I'll check the removable bulb mount, one of the legs might be bent. That bulb is tough to get to with the cluster in the dash! When I had the cluster out a few days ago I cleaned all the copper connections on the boards to ensure a good contact patch.

Ditch the ammeter, and attach the 2 ammeter wires together and shrink wrap. That thing is a fire hazard anyways.

When the turn signal indicator bulbs dimly stay lit when not in operation sometimes thats the sign of a weak ground and power back feeding thru the bulb. Make a good solid external ground wire from the back of the cluster housing to the dash frame. That should help with some of the gremlins.

Yes, I added several grounds from the cluster housing to the frame & column when I installed a new cam switch and the signal indicators are fine.

The front parking/signal lights going dim with HL operation has also been fixed, the electronic flash pot was bad - I swapped over the flash pot from the hazards and now they illuminate properly.
