Two possibilities come to mind. Either the bulbs are not getting 12v (40 
yar old wiring) or they are the rong bulbs. The '65 manual calls for 3cp 
1816s but I have often found 2cp 1895s in their place and they are dimmer.

Looking at 
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/ 
they do  call out the 1816 for the 64 Corvair instrument panel bulbs.
