Thanks guys, the prior owner had the gauge cluster completely redone so hopefully it's a grounding issue. I'll add an additional ground as suggested. Appreciate the speedy responses.

So my fuel and temperature gauges only work properly when the lights are on, regardless whether it's the parking or headlights but after awhile, both gauges go all the way to the max readings. When the lights aren't on, neither gauge reads accurately. Another weird thing is that when the lights...

So I should disconnect the speedo cable at the back of the speedometer and squeeze powdered graphite down that end of the cable and not in the back of the speedometer.....correct? Just want to make sure I'm reading your response right.

My speedo flutters and makes a ticking sound. I was thinking about disconnecting the cable from the back and shooting in some liquid graphite but I'm worried the black spray from the graphite might come through the backside and stain the face of my speedometer. Any advice would be greatly...

Can someone pls post a pic of the location where the trunk rubber bumber goes and what it looks like? There are two potential locations, one close to the edge that is round (i think this is a weep hole for water to escape) and another that is rectangular. I've attached a pic but for some reason...

So I just got my rubber bumper kit, which included the door bumpers. The bumpers included in the kit are longer and much more meaty than the ones in my '68 vert. I bought them on ebay and the seller said I can cut the length down so they'll fit in the hole where they go and they should be fine...

Had hood pins and got rid of them when I recently re-did the body. Found them to be a real PIA and put little scratches in the hood......just my .02$

'68 vert, need the rubber bumpers that go on the bottom of the trunk lid (near the bumper), where can I purchase them?

C, makes perfect sense, any idea where i'd get repos for my '68?

Just got the body done on my '68 vert. Noticed that my trunk lid has a little play; I can push down just a little bit when the trunk latch is engaged. I adjusted the latch last night but when I was able to get the trunk lid to close securely, it was down below the quarters just enough so it was...

Today I bought some lower profile thread cutting nuts from my local hardware store and they are able to grab the tip of the post and hold the front of the insert in the hood bulge. However, I can't get it to sit flush. For those of you not familiar with the insert, it is made of two pieces, one...

Got new hood inserts for my GTS from P&G. There are five plastic posts on each insert that affix to the hood using thread cutting nuts. The problem is the front post of each insert doesn't stick through the hood enough to get the thread cutting nut to start. I'm thinking of substituting a...

Thanks man, you seem to answer a lot of my questions...appreciate it!!

I'm thinking about buying a car cover on ebay. The manufacturer is Auto Armour and it is a 4 layer type. The cover will only be used indoors in a newly built, well insulated garage. I've attached the link; anyone own one or have thoughts...
