Well yesterday I checked the connections at the bulkhead and everything there seemed good, no funky green stuff or anything. Next I checked the ground cable at the battery and it had quite a bit of corrosion so I cleaned the terminal (post) as well as the connecter. Sandpaper and file. At this point I also ran a ground from the negative post on the battery to the rad cradle. Then I checked the lights with the engine running and couldn't see any flickering. Had to wait until dark to be sure. So I went out for a drive after dark and after a 25 mile test drive not a flicker could be found. Also my temp. and oil pressure gauge seems to be reading a slight bit lower . They're now where I believe they used to be. Still have to add a ground strap from the engine to the firewall. Hopefully today.

Thanks to all for your help.
