Fuel filler pipe clamp 200 200

Ah,

I would start cleaning the fuses in the fuse panel, especially on any one of those feeding the instrument cluster. You might be a wee bit low on supply current.

I would clean the ground connections of the harness around the hump and the service plate areas in the trunk.
New clean threaded holes and screws are the way to go and plug up any old HOLY places. (:-)
Rust maybe worse on the backside or underside of the body. Things stay damp in dark places!

Take voltage readings, on the same side of the polarities, back to the battery posts, for tenths of a volt, to see if there is any resistance cause. .02 or less is best.
A length of decent gauge testing wire is helpful or use other know good grounds to “on” circuits.
Any tenths of voltage showing equates to lots of resistance that can cause voltage drops that makes things not function correctly.
One Dim headlight out of two is a number one example, seen!
You want as close to zero as you can get.

Phil
