Ok.Looks like You have to rearrange some wiring.
K1 on yours is defrost switch , not needed.
K2 is ATF and not needed.
#56 high beam. Your black /white wire.
#57 driving lights/low beam. Your blue/white wire.
Red wire from clock is for illumination/back lighting, 2 bulbs go in 2 holes covered by tape, it continues to fuel gauge's back light.
That should make it all good.
I would have thought you would have had a KPH speedo with the left hand drive
Also the ATF/K2 should be red, just checking that your lenses where put back in right order |
This car drives me - no pun intended - to despair sometimes, and now and then to a quiet chuckle at my own stupidity.
I have an American Ghia (LHD) speedo while my car is Japan RHD. While the US speedo is also for a '68, it obviously came off an autostick. And US drivers apparently had to be told what each light was for, because there are no logos on the original Japan RHD speedo (the little pictograms what the lights are for).
So my clever idea to replace the whole original speedo when I only needed the needle now comes to bite me in the backside. I'll have to go back to the beginning, and swop everything back. It will cost me a new chrome ring.
It's quite funny. I'm giggling at myself here while sipping some bubbly. What else can I do? I have sorted out the wiring - thanks to Art - and now I have to sort out the speedo, thanks to you.
You stopped me making a fool of myself, again.
