When a coolant leak causes your engine to fry, you will wish the light was
working.

Mine (84 I-4 conversion faux-Westie) was flashing when I bought it.
Likely a function of it being converted to the I-4 motor..I tried and
tried to get that sucker to stop flashing...Until I finally took out the
whole clock and made a nice little ovoid piece of black electrical tape.
Put that right over that bulb and re-assembled the instrument in the dash.
You can't even see that black tape in there, and the light?  Probably
still flashing, but who cares?
