Thank you Lon and Andrew for your imput. I have been in Kokomo Ind. on a family medical emergency and will get back to Houston tomorrow. I'll check out your advise and post my findings. If your are OK with it, I could send a P.M. about looking at your cars?

:stupid: Well I don't know why but they are working now. I took several of the suggestions in this thread and I guess one or a combination of several must have worked. When I got back from Kokomo, I installed the rebuilt tach, the replacement clock, the speedometer, and the other components that were out of the dash. Then I disconnected every electrical plug that I could find under the dash and gave them a good cleaning with CRC. After they dried, I reconnected them and started the car. It was idling at about 600 RPM and I knew that because the tach was working!!!! When I walked around the car and saw the windshield wipers unpluged...remenbered reading another thread in which someone stated their wipers did not work unless the alternator was running, so what the heck, I reconnected the plug. Much to my joy...they were going back and forth. I went to the combination switch and got them to work in all three modes. Thanks for your imput...I hope this will help the next person out.
