When you pulled your master cylinder did you move any of the brown ground wires on the wheelwell by the rear of the cylinder, just rewired my headlights and had a problem with a bad ground there. Once before I had a bad ground there and my drivers turn signal didn't work. Fixed the grounds and no more problem!!

My alternator also 'flicks' in tune to my blinkers, but I had thought that was just natural for the Opel since my old 73 did the same thing. Since prior threads refer to grounding and wire corrorsion problems, we both might need to look into that. Did you check to see if any dislodged or blew any fuses to account for the loss of gauges?

Like Otto said this has been discussed numerous times. For those that have the DESTEC schematic there is a note on how to use the later 3-pin style blinker can vice the original 4-pin can. As far as a fuse for the instruments, they get their power from the terminal block between the speedo and oil/amp gage and it is powered from F-2 on JJ's schematic or the 3rd fuse from the 4 studs where there are 4 fuses. HTH.
