So I have been trying to do many of the electrical upgrades recommended on FABO. As of now I have no instrument lights that work so today I decided to pull my gauge cluster and see what's what.
Background: 1966 Barracuda 318 column shift. Almost all wiring was original when I got it and aside from the giant hole cut into the dash for an aftermarket stereo at some point, it all seems to be pretty much unmolested (except a cheesy taiwanese security thingy ma bob under the dash that I just pulled out).
I get the cluster out and it appears there is not limiter attached to the back.
Question 1-Should I assume the limiter is inside the speedo?
Question 2-One of the light sockets is missing, would this prevent the rest of the lights from working?
Question 3-If I have an internal limiter, is it possible to add and electronic unit on the back of the gauge? I have seen this mod I think, but there were studs that I don't seem to have.
Thanks for the help as usual.
