Sometimes the rheostat controlling the brightness of the instrument lights (usually built into the headlight switch) get a bit balky with age. Try rotating the knob back and forth a few times and see if the lights flicker at all. Sometimes they'll only work at full bright (rotated all the way to the left, just before the dome light comes on) which is a problem I solve by leaving them at full bright.....as long as they work, I'ma happy

Having never been under the dash of a '64 can't really help with the speaker. Are you sure it's the speaker and not the radio itself? Try disconnecting the speaker wire harness and testing to see if it's getting any voltage....sometimes these old radios just poop out, mine did

Edit: A '64 might have a tube-type radio. Anyone know?

Best of luck and hope this helps.

i have tried rotating the headlight switch left and right and got nothing. as for the radio i didnt work when i first got the car and i fired it up one day and it just came on and stayed on for like 20 mins until i turned it off then i turned it back on and it didnt do anything and about 5 mins later it just started working again so im thinking either the connection to the radio or the speaker.
