HI,
Does anyone have a completely working instrument cluster and bulbs for a '72?

My cluster was working for the most part but not the temp guage and a few lights, (OD, choke, amp,)So I decided to put in the temp guage from another cluster that I had. Well, That didn't work, so I decided to start trading some parts between them and sooner or later after several tries I wound up using most of the other cluster. Somehow though the temp guage still doesn't work and more lights are out my car got a whole lot faster and much better gas mileage, (up from 24 to 31mpgs!). Now of course it could be the speedometer in the old one had a whole lot of drag in it which binded up the speedo cable causing the transmission to bog down and the engine to struggle ...OR, it maybe a long shot here, but just maybe the new cluster that I put in is not calibrated as the old one.

Oh, and my dirrectionals quit with the new cluster? Is this a factor of the cluster? Or did I just lose my relay also? ...anyone got one of those?
I hate not signaling! ( I have been using standard hand signals and people don't seem to know what they mean anymore)
