Anyone know what I am overlooking? All the dash gauge lights are out but
the fuse is good. Is there another fuse on the back of the dash panel?

Did you check your ground behind the dash-panel? Not likely to be the
problem but worth checking anyway! :O)

Do the gauges still work? If not check the large connector on the back. If gauges work I would check the regulator on the back of the dash to start.

The gauges do still work and the turn signal indicators work as well. I'll
check that regulator, thanks .

Did you rotate the headlight switch knob? Perhaps the rheostat
has a bad spot or is dirty....

Yes I rotated it several times and didn't even get a flicker.

Don't overlook that fuse. Check it again. I had the same problem in my
67. The fuse was good, so I took apart the dash, and changed the light
switch. Yes, I even checked all the ground wires. Only to find the
terminals had a slight amount of corrosion around the fuse. I took some
emery cloth and shined them back up and my lights worked again! Then I had
to put the dash back together ;-(
