Hi guys...I have a technical question. My dash lights are quite dim and will brighten up some with higher revs. Any recommendations?

Ya got me on that one Mark. The first thought is a bad ground or alternator problem.

I thought that too and put a heavy ground from the chassis to the engine block. Someone will have the answer. I believe there is a voltage regulator on the back of the instrument cluster and wondering if that might be the culprit.

I would check out the alternator Mark since the alternator supplies your vehicles electrical needs , when it begins to lose it's potential so does the vehicles accessories that draw on that electricity . Do your head light dim too? The regulator on the back of the dash cluster only runs the fuel and temp. gauge .

I did not know that FOG thanks I'm learning.
 
I stink at electrical but I think our A-bodies have issues where the wires plug together at the firewall too. Corrosion. They call it the bulkhead fitting I believe.
 
You missed this by two days Fred, way easier than going to Walmart! Right down the road from us, buddies daughter manages the bar.
