Must be getting a false Ground someplace. any suggestions? and my lights on my guages are very dim, even with new replacement bulbs.
Thanks

Check the ground under the dash and add another good ground to the gauges. I found my under dash ground wire stud area still had paint on it which makes for a poor electrical contact. The grounding system on these cars is bad and adding an additional ground to the gauges is a good idea. Also make sure that the fuses are clean and are making good contact with the copper prongs in the fuse box. Remember that you are dealing with Lucas the Prince of Darkness.
