Thanks. I will check there.

Has anyone heard from Rick. I see he has not been here since 2014. Appreciate any updates.

Very nice job!

You regulars might want to ask the new members where they are from, what they drive and what they do for a living, if they are still working, etc. It would probably help get them engaged in the chat.

Dogs name typed twice.

Hope you all enjoy your holidays in whatever manner you choose.

Much better look. Good choice.

Well, put in the new headlight switch and the knob and shaft. Still have the short. With the key off, the taillights/front clearance and dash lights are on. I can turn off the dash lights using the new headlight switch rheostat, but the outside front and rear tail lights are still on. Drats!!! Next ...

Got the new headlight switch today and plugged it in. Sadly the short is still there. Since I removed the knob and shaft, does that leave the headlights on? If so, I'll have to plug the switch back in and reinstall the knob and shaft then push the knob in and see if the dash lights go out. Here's h...

Although I have never done it, powder coat is still just paint, so I'd expect it would be the same as any other over paint.

Luv the sound of the motor.

After getting the headlight switch out I see that the Ni-chrome wire to dim the dash lights is all busted up. Got a new switch on order.

I finally found the short!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a tab in the headlight plug bent over too close to another tab. Now to reassemble. Then get back to why the engine does not run right. Thanks ICEMAN6166 for all your help.

I also see the small pin sticking up from the headlight switch close to the dash. Is this pin when pushed release the knob and shaft? I tired pushing the pin in and pulling out the knob and shaft, but it does not seem to release.

I did what you said and the clips came loose. I have not yet tried to remove the plug from the headlight switch yet. Finally got something to work correctly. I tried the allen wrench on the ignition switch and I still cannot get it in the hole after I turn the switch to ACC, I can get it in when the...

A slight change of topic. I also need to unplug the wires going to the headlight switch, to see if the dash lights stay off when I reconnect the battery. I see a clip on each side of the switch like those used to hold on a distributor cap. Will releasing those clips allow the wire plug to be removed...

the tumbler must be out key must be in tumbler for removal when you put the paper clip in the hole (key at ACC) you will feel a spring loaded button in the bottom of the hole push it in then turn the key a bit more past ACC and it should be released and come out. if you have a worn key that comes o...

Looks sharp to me.

1. Disconnect battery 2. Turn key to ACC position and insert paper clip in the hole in the tumbler and then pull out tumbler. 3. Push the switch against the dash from the backside, while holding pressure against the bezel on the front side of the dash. 4. As you are pushing switch in turn it a litt...
