Hi, I have a 1970, the gauges are in terrible condition. I have a 1974 set of gauges that are much nicer I am going to replace them with. The early set has individual left and right blinker bulbs located on the tach gauge. The later tach gauge has one bulb shared by both sides. My question is: is it ok to jumper the wires from the left and right blinker to the single bulb in the newer gauge? I just don't want to do any damage.
Thanks, rob |

You should be able to wire up the single indicator like the 74+ cars by connecting one side to the 'K' lead (this would be the common leads to the individual L and R indicators) and the other side of the indicator to chassis ground.
See the diagrams below. My $0.02 is to get a nice early tach with L and R indicators. I had a 74 with the single indicator and did not like it. So I obtained an early tach and swapped the later tach and faceplate on the early tach. BTW, tying the 2 wires together will result in the indicator never turning on and all 4 turnsignals (Left/Right, Front/Rear) coming on at all times. Attached image(s) |
