i shook my temp/fuel gauge and theres no rattling so it seems that gauge is fine but when i stick the key in the ignition it goes all the way up on both. the 5x led lights dont light up bright like they dont have enough voltage going to them. and i just fryed one of the circuts trying to fix it and plus this is the original circut board from june 1 1970 so its probably time for a restoration on the cluster. do yall think the circut board could be my problem to all of these problems!????

yeah thats what my uncle did to his 69 coupe back in like late 70s. i found a site that shows you how to do them with 5" and 2 5/8" phantom gauges. kinda pricey tho.

The bezel and digital guages from Dakota are awesome. For $500, I'm getting a set (once the wife says it's ok or I sneak it somehow)

DIY you'll be learning something new, and have a skill that one day could be marketable...not to mention you can make it look bad *** and say "i did that"

Back in 84 I put autometer gauges in my 67 stock instrument cluster. I guess I was ahead of my time. Now I want to do it again but with the white face gauges.

I know you have a 70, but this might give you some ideas. Or it might help the guys with the 67-68's.
