I wanted to add some led lights to the speedo gauge cluster to brighten it up for driving at night. I know someone here has done that but forgot who had a write up for this. This is far down the line though

that can be done but also dont forget the chrome spray paint trick for the gauge housing and cover backside . this helps a lot also .

I plan to put one of them new-fangled e-lec-tronic HEI distributors on my '74. Does that count?
