IML: annoying '68 headlight switch

[Jkelly808@xxxxxxx]

I'm familiar with the world-renowned glitchiness of the headlight switch on '67s and '68s. I guess I've been living on borrowed time -- with the exception of a few times when they went out on me I've been able to get home at night by jiggling the switch and saying my prayers. (The brights have never worked reliably, despite a new floor switch).

But in the past few days the lights go out after a couple of miles and no amount of switch-jiggling will get them back on.

I've kept my eyes open for a replacement switch and even stopped by Lowell Howe's place when I was in California -- no luck.

So what do I tell the guy at Wayne's Auto Electric to do -- rig some kind of Rube Goldberg under-dash bypass switch?

With aloha,
