Is the dash blinking off and on while the engine is running or is it blinking that way all the time?

I'm new into all of this too, but I'd think if it's blinking with the engine on only, I'd check the alternator, but if the dash is on the fritz all the time, you probably need to get some work done on it. I'm about to send my dash in for an overhaul in my 85.

My guess was that it may have been a ground that you cleaned up when you took it apart.
