sounds like the constant voltage regulator, it's on the back of the dash, it controls how much power goes to the gauges.

I've ditched the 35 year old guages and bought some relitively inexpensive ones that look really nice. You can even cut out the middle portion of your dash bezel, and make a custom wood, graphite or whatever to place some new guages into.

Either that or a fuse went away. I would bet on the regulator though.
