It seems that if 5 are connected - all is ok. Plug in the sixth -
regardless of location - they start flickering.
Followed Michael's suggestion... found one that had a cracked separator
between +/-. Without that one in the mix - all is ok.
Of course, the spare has been re-used many times and the tines on the
backside are completely useless. I'll go digging for another but at least I
know the problem.
Thanks Michael & Bill for the quick response.

Subject: [TR] panel lights on TR3
I am pulling my hair. (not out - I need all I have)
Installed the 6 panel lamps on the '3 yesterday.
Two circuits - one with 4 holders/bulbs for speedo/tach, the other with two
holders/bulbs for center panel
Bench tested all six at one time - all ok.
Problem - one holder/lamp in the center panel pair - when installed causes
everything to flicker. I unplug the offending holder/lamp and no flicker.
I connect a ground and it is back.
Switched out for an older holder/lamp - same thing.
Switched the lamps around - same thing. Same location.
Not sure it matters but It is the center panel lamp below the turn signal
indicator.
Any ideas.
