I've stripped this coupe down to almost nothing and have spent two years putting it back together. As far as I can tell, everything is hooked up right from the temp., oil pressure, amp, and fuel sending unit. I put a new circut board on the cluster and I have lights every where but none of the gauges work. If only one gauge wasn't working, I could guess a bad gauge, but none of them work. Does anyone have a clue where I went wrong? This is my first build and I'm stumped.

I would look at the constant voltage regulator (CV), it is a rectangular box on the cluster. Also look and see if you have it grounded good.

I have done the same thing with my 1970 fastback and found that when you are placing the circut board you can ground the board out. I used gasket board to keep this from happening. The board can ground out agianst the instructment custer.
