On my 74, the turn signal indicator light in the instrument cluster has a slight glow when the car is running. It is completely dark when the car is off but in the "run" position. It also lights up normally when I activate the turn signals. Obviously I'm getting some kind of backfeed into the circuit. Before I go digging around with my multi-meter has anyone experienced anything similar? If it matters, the alternator is a newer bosch unit that is internally regulated.
 
Electrical is my specialty. I do Megasquirt installations and fire ups. To do so means sorting all electrical issues beforehand to ensure no catastrophic back feed will kill your investment. Please send me a PM.
 
sounds like a ground issue. i would start by checking the grounds for the ignition switch and for the gauge clusters
