Did you checked all the fuses? If they are all good, I would take the cluster out and clean it up and check the connections and the circuit board.

Suggest checking to see if you have an instrument cluster regulator. Not sure on later models, the 61-66 have instrument cluster regulars, small metal box in appearance mounted on the back of the panel. Regulates constant voltage 5-9 to instruments.

The later models did not have a regulator. I am not sure when they changed it, but I would guess the late 80's, maybe 87.
