If I recall, mopar used 6 volt guages on the dash up through the late 60's. My friend's 67 Coronet even has 6 volts guages. Rather than spend the money to change over to 12 volt guages they just added a voltage regulator under the dash. This could be the problem.

Look Mopar Discussion List <L-FORWARDLOOK@list s.psu.edu> 08/22/01 06:06 PM Please respond to Greg Buffalow I recently replaced the front wiring harness on my '61 Imperial because several wires had melted behind the dash, which powered various instruments. Unfortunately, one of the same wires has melted again. Fortunately, we can patch this one, without replacing the entire harness. The area I need suggestions/help on is this: we are trying to figure out where the short is in the system. Apparently, the voltage regulator is charging the system at the highest charge since there is a short somewhere. I would appreciate any ideas on how to isolate and fix the problem? Thanks.
