Hi all I‘ve searched the forums and not sure I found how everything is grounded on the dash for a 1967. I’ve had the car fully repainted and some of the original items were missing from the car. Can anyone describe how all the parts of the dash are grounded? A lot of talk about the gauge cluster but I’m not sure how the center console items like heater controls and radio may have been grounded. Thanks.
I have the dash apart on my 69 right now cleaning and replacing a few things. On the 69 all the switches, lighter, gauges, radio etc. are grounded by thin metal strap’s connecting each to one another and to a grounded source. One source is where the light switch mounts, another is a stud that mounts the bezel to the metal structure of the dash. And where radio shafts mount. Have seen images of the straps on the web and some originals for sale. Have not seen them reproduced. The 69 uses a printed circuit for the instrument cluster, if a 67 uses one the grounding might be the same. I can’t remember from my 67.
Can’t speak specifically to a ‘67, it’s been too long. Instrument cluster is grounded by a bare wire eyelet which bolts under the center upper bolt of the cluster housing. Just above the high beam light.
The climate controls are grounded by the mounting bolts.
Sorry, don’t recall the factory radio.
Believe light switch and possibly wiper switch is grounded by mounting nuts. Not sure about wiper.
