Does the switch still work the center gauge lights? My circuit board went and I lost all dash lights but my center gauge and shifter plate lights would still dim or brighten by the switch removed speedo/tach found the board to be very brittle and cracking into pieces every where replaced an got all my lights back

No circuit boards in a 70.

IP fuse or bad rheostat on the headlight switch.
