Re: IML: 1965 Auto Pilot dash switch



That's a good question.  I do know that the knob on the dash is supposed to pull out as that is how the system knows when you've set it, but I don't know if it's supposed to spin freely.  I have to repair my speedo, so my Auto-Pilot only works at the lowest setting, so I haven't played with it much.  My guess would be that to change your current setting, push the knob in, change the setting, then pull it back out to engage the new setting.

After having my dash apart for the better of two years I can't recall how the auto pilot switch on the dash board re-assembles.  It has three pieces, the round fat washer with the two prongs, then the large knob that matches the others, and then the center button that pulls out.  All three pieces have the allen screw.  If I tighten the fat spacer allen screw low on the shaft so that it turns the dial then the center shaft will not move in or out, if I don't tighten it, the the dial behind the dash spins freely on it's own when the know pops out....   Does anyone know how this mechanisim is supposed to work in the first place?  Is the larger knob even supposed to pop out?  I have never used it, but when driving around I know that it is working as far as speed control works, I can feel the back pressure in the accelerator, which changes as I fidle with the dial.....  Have I forgotten a part, or am I missing something? 
 
    Thanks for any help!
