Excellent video. Thank you

Hey. I’m trying to find led bulbs to replace the originals. Any ideas what the part number is or which ones on eBay would fit? Any help is much appreciated!

[@byebye356]

@@Freejohnsilkyputty I'm not 100% on the part number but it's just a small bulb that has two wires that bend over the bulb part almost like a Christmas tree bulb That's what they look like lots of shops stores may have them. Good luck.

Can I get you E-Mail ? I would like to send you a picture of my 66 Impala (327)

Ill look at if you wish. I am a certified electronic technician. just retired. Most times a good cleaning will get it going and clean the points....yes it has points.

Dan you the Man Thanks brother God bless you

Are most of these components similar in a 1965 Impala? I need to replace a turn signal bulb and fix the clock also. How hard is it to take off the speedo cable from the back of cluster?

[@philchigges2955]

What size bulbs are those?

Hello Dan, I couldn't understand much from the video because I have a bad English, can you explain by writing how to repair my watch?

All I really did was use pressured air to get any dust and dirt. Then I used light machine oil (like sewing machine oil). Also, use the caption to get writing and you can also slow the video down. Good luck.

Dan I just sent you a email with a question about repairing my clock and a picture of my car. Thanks so much for the info

[@byebye356]

hey no problem, can you send it again. It must have went to trash or something. thanks

[@douggregory7254]

Just Sent It, Thanks

[@byebye356]

wow. looks like i'm looking at my car. I will tell you I ended up taking the dash BACK out again to use BRIGHTER bulbs. I ended up getting LED lights. much brighter. next time I go down to the shop I'll send you the ones I used.

[@douggregory7254]

I ordered a led version of 194 bulbs to go into my dash, I was wondering how you tore the clock apart?

[@byebye356]

Took it out of cluster, looks like you did that according to the pix. Then I took the backside of the clock off. Look for the solenoid "very small" Look for what looks like a set of points. I had a small wire that goes to solenoid was broken. I soldered it back and then it started working but not all the time. I then had to take one of my wife’s fingernail files and cleaned the points. What the points do is saves on the battery from running ALL the time so, what happens is when the points make contact the solenoid will KICK the spring out far enough for it to run down to where the points make contact again. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN……good luck!!
