Finally I can post here! Changed the oil today and and got the interior cleaned up. I'm pretty sure the interior was never wiped down in 20 years and the oil filter had a 2003 date written on it. After all that, the wife and I went cruising, put about 100 miles on it today and loved every second. No more 3 digit odometer for me!

Replaced my instrument lens, replaced most of the instrument bulbs, and blew out the dust between the lens and gauges. Looks brand new!

My temp gauge and the right side of my tach seem to be out. Did you go with LED or the stock type? I've been looking up the stock incandescent bulbs but haven't found them yet.

I went incandescent. It's a 194 bulb, twist out the bulb/housing and remove the bulb from the black plastic housing and replace the bulb. It's pretty easy once you get the cluster out.

You can pick up a box of PN 194 bulbs at any auto parts store.
