[V8] question about Type 44 electrical gremlins

[d saad]

How wierd!
My Dad's old 1968 GMC truck had nearly identical dash light symptoms.
After years of him doing nothing about it, I took the dash out and apart.
When I put it back together it all worked like it was supposed to. Never
did figure out why. Same procedure will probably work for you.
