Jerry, I just looked in Dennis Carpenter catalog, part # B6T-11654-A.
His price is 42.50. I don't remember where I got mine. It was him or
Concours or Dearborn Classics. That's about what I paid
That should fix the Dash Lights.
Good Luck, Ron :004:

Also try NAPA, many parts are still sold by them just because they were used for years with out change.
