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 have wires for left, right and a common, with a jumper. Connecting them together will damage something. My advice would be to sell the 74 gauge and either get a better 70 gauge or have yours restored. The early cars that have the the two different arrows are cool...keep it that way! Use the correct part for your car not just what you have convenient, having the right part is = priceless |
