Biggiefl,

In your first post you talked about a rectifyer for the dash lites. I suspect that you are referring to the rheostat for controlling dash lite brightness. Many on the forum here have simply jumpered across the rheostat to get lights back. Particularly since the brightest point in the rotation of the knob is none too bright anyway.
