I pulled the instrument cluster to get the odometer gear replaced. Will driving the car without instruments cause any issues? Not legal issues, only looking for mechanical/electrical issues. Of course I drove my 244 and of course it died after draining the battery. I thought maybe my alternator was a goner but it bench tested fine. Does the exciter wire need to be connected to the dash cluster for the charging system to function properly?
