You can adjust the brightness of some of the LED bulbs. I'm looking at the
1895 replacement for my military lights that were rigged into the interior
of my Comanche as well as 12VDC lighting for my cabin. (I run everything
there off a 4D battery that has a solar panel to keep it charged up)

I got this from a website wishing to trade links with my site. Check out the
tow truck and the car being towed!
http://www.junkmycar.com/
at least they are not AMC, but not sure anyone would want to use that as a
tow truck, not that it could haul plywood, and not sure anyone would want to
tow away the one on the hook either!

Hell, you stare at the things the whole time you're in the seat,
you might as well get them right! I don't think it's trivial.
You CAN dim LEDs, they just don't dim as evenly with the dimmer
as lamps do; no harm done. I bought LED lamp replacements
from Digikey. Digikey sells the latest semiconductor stuff to
industry and their interface is harsh and brutal and thorough
and good.
Go to their home page, www.digikey.com.
enter "LED lamp replacements" in the search box. Click search.
Next page, click the ITEMS IN STOCK box. Click search again.
You should get a table of items. AMC dash lamps are Wedge
base. There's a filter selection for "CAN REPLACE LAMPS..." with
194's. (The "red" vs "red clear" etc is just the color
of the enclosing plastic; it doesn't matter in dashboard
application.) You can CONTROL-CLICK or SHIFT-CLICK to select
more than one thing in the filter.
(To see the most lamps that might fit, I selected WEDGE and 12V,
ignoring the "CAN REPLACE..." column.)
I put some of these in my dash indicators (ALT, OIL, turns,
etc). For that they are a drop-in except as noted below...
Some warnings with LEDs in cars:
One, the light pattern. Incandescent lamps dump light in a
spherical pattern; there's just a hot wire throwing off light in
all directions. LEDs are very directional; they squirt light
straight out. This is perfect for dash turn signal indicators
etc but lousy for dash gauge illumination. In an unrelated project,
I sanded the molded clear plastic "bulb" with 180 grit to make
a diffuse pattern. It helped.
Two, LEDs are a LOT LESS BRIGHT overall than incandescents.
The light produced within the narrow beam pattern is fine
(why they work so well for turn indicators) but if you spread
it out, it's pretty dim. There are multi-LED lamps for things
like taillights though.
(I'm working on illuminating the Hornet gauges with white LEDs,
but I bought a dozen submini LEDs and will carve a diffusor out
of PTEG plastic and fit it around the gauge faces. I already
did this to the heater control, it worked great.)
Three, they don't draw much current, which is 99% of the time
just wonderful. But I have two problem areas, both fixable:
* For the ALTernator light, it doesn't draw enough
current for the alternator to start producing
output! You'll have to rev the engine to about 2000 rpm,
once, then the alt light will go out. I've been driving
this way for a year. Next time I take the dash out I'll
solder a resistor onto the back of the dash circuit board.
* For the OIL idiot light, the oil pressure sender you;ll
be surprised to see isn't exactly a perfect ON/OFF
switch. When it's off (eg. oil pressure, dash light off)
it may leak a few milliamps of current -- enough to light
the LED! More scary, you wash off the engine, and a bit
of moisture makes it pass 5 - 10 milliamps and the LED
comes on bright! It's otherwise harmless, and would
be fixed by paralleling a resistor onto the board.
(The added resistor will consume current like the original
lamp did; a #194 lamp draws .27amps, which you could
simulate with a 68 ohm, 5-watt resistor. That's making 3
watts of heat, which seems silly. I think something like
.05 amps would do it (make the alt start; oil light out)
which would be about 270 ohms, 1 watt. Probably less will
work; I'll experiment some time.)
Four, some few of these LED lamp replacements are polarized. I
think just the bayonet-base ones, with the center wire is +12V,
and the brass shell is ground. Since I've never seen a car that
uses these lamps wired any other way it doesn't matter unless
you use an insulated socket with pigtail leads.

69 70 JAVELIN AMX TACH AND GAUGE RESTORATION DECALS I have been working on
these for a year, and finally have a product that i feel is ready. Although
not concourse they are very good,I did these for myself, and I am a picky
SOB, and friends told me they wanted some so i did a small batch!!There
isn't a stock 35 year old set out there that even come close to looking this
good!. I did them several ways, stock and custom for guys that want
something different. I also did the clock so all the gauges look fresh. I
did the 69's stock, the silver with the black clock, and every gauge silver,
the clock the fuel and temp gauge can be had in silver too, I also did them
in white for the new modern look, kinda hot roddy type.They have a very
orange red line like stock! The 70's are done stock or in total white,
including the clock in white.The red line is very very orange like stock!
Again,not concourse but nice, absolutely the best I could do, with out
spending 5 grand in tooling! It's a thermal process, also called thermal
silk screening, on a 10 year film so down the road they wont peel. I also
put some tabs so you don't handle the gauge face area, causing the oils from
your skin making them peel later. Email and i will be glad to send pics!I
made these 5 times before i got them to the point that i would say anyone
with a little mechanical ability can do them. I'm working on a website to
post pics and directions! Complete kit at $29.95 plus $4.95 priority
shipping! Mark 317-945-2568 days mparksmce@xxxxxxx I'm in southern Indiana

1969 amc 390 engine. Valve cover tag 201W20. Apart and complete minus the
valve covers. Was balanced mangnafluxed about 10 years ago. Bought it with 2
cars as a package deal. Took it apart 5 years ago and had it sitting since.
Needs to be cleaned back up, some surface rust especially on one head. Bad
thing is it has 12.1 compression flat top pistons so racing fuel a must. I
was planning on lowering the compression with a later set of heads. I think
the guy spent around $900 on the pistons alone and they were balanced to the
motor so I dont want to go back to factory ones. Located in IL. Motor is a t
a business and can be shipped out if you scedule a truck to come get it. Had
this on ebay befor but no bites. Asking $1,500 firm. Contact Julie.
