Just got my dash all buttoned up and am very pleased with the upgrades. A heavy duty flasher fixed the flasher problem, the new circuit board fixed the dash indicator problem, and the ammeter bypass was the best upgrade of all: brighter lights interior and exterior, blinkers don't slow down, horn is louder, alternator consistently charging at 14+ v vs 12.5 with voltmeter.
If you haven't done the ammeter bypass ...do it NOW! You will be glad you did.
Thanks to all who gave input on this thread. Much appreciated
