Dash Bulb / Wire Locations

[Steve D.]

Fellow members:

Somewhere in the past there was a great picture of the rear of the Mid Year Cluster, showing bulb and wire locations...I have searched the archives and I am not able to find such a post...Does someone know where I might find this post? Or does anyone have a picture of the rear of the cluster showing wire/bulb placement??

Also is there a bulb that can be used on place of the stock dash bulbs (gray wire) that gives more illumination to the cluster??

Thanks, Steve

Try searching posts by Tim Ehlers. It was "gauge cluster removal" Jan 9th 2009.

Steve -

Great photo put together by Dave Zuberer of a '67 cluster wiring arrangement is below; '63-'64 is essentially the same, except you don't have the two extra illumination bulbs below the tach and speedo (you only have seven, not nine).

#1817 bulbs are brighter than the stock #1816 bulbs; one source for them is Atlanta Light Bulb (or something similar to that).
