1) Did a little bit of work on HOT383 -but this project is being held up by back orders from Jegs and Summit! Aghhh!

2) Fixed intermittent brake lights. First I thought that PO's hill-billy wiring was the cause of intermittent brake lights! Take a look at this rat nest:

I had never seen more crimp butts and wire clips used to hold wiring together:

After cleaning this mess it was simplified to this:

After all wiring cleanup it end up being intermittent brake light switch! Oh well - wiring needed cleanup anyway... It had to be done the right way anyhow!
