Re: 67 GMC super custom build
the smaller clock I had I sold here cause I did not like how it looked on top of the dash. I go this 67 chevy clock and decided it needed to be incorporated into the pad. it will have to be worked with foam and new vinyl but here is what it looks like in the pad. I just had to find a way to get a clock in this truck without it looking unoriginal and tasteful at the same time.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It turns your headlights on when it's dark automatically. It also allows you to have your lights stay on for a short time after you shut off the vehicle for convenience.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got my sentinel switch finished up today. the dial sits behind the headlight switch in place of the factory bezel. when you move it, it tells the relay how long to keep the lights on between one minute and 10 seconds. This is one of my favorite upgrades because you can barely tell its there. headlight switch still looks stock pretty much.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I gotta get me one of those twilight sentinels that's awesome, I also gotta get me a variable delay wiper switch which is equally as useful.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Great build, I have been through all the posts a couple of times now. I especially like the idea of using the transistorized ignition to retain the factory distributor look. I had one on a 72 LT-1 and never had a problem with it.
Several years ago the GM dealer that my brother worked at was throwing away a blue box test kit that had a logo on it for transistorized ignitions. I guess they hadn't used it for several years. Because of the LT-1, my brother grabbed it, which turned out to be the GM test kit for the ignitions. Luckily I held onto it for all these years as I might "borrow" your idea and install one on mine.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Now both my light and wiper nuts look the same. these look much better than what factory used.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
here is where my window switches will be. the top one is vertical for the vent window and the bottom is horizontal for the door window. I wanted to put the bottom one where I have the marker but I could not because of motor location.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Well this got me thinking. So I ordered a wiper delay from member twouvakind and it arrived today. So I made a little modification. I am not sure if this is going to work yet as I have to find somewhere to test it. I don't want this mounted anywhere. It needs to look good and professional and somewhat like it could be original. I took a pointometer I had which I hope works that has a hole in the center (just like the sentinel) so the original wiper switch will be in the same place but the delay switch will rotate around it and thus no additional holes drilled. it will look identical to the headlight switch and bezel. Would be great if this could work.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I just tested it and it worked nicely. I'll post a video later today. This is how the switch will look.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Standard practice in the auto industry is to group all the switches together, not to suggest that you should follow the industry, but why not put them right next to each other?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
because the door window motor and vent motor are right beside the top switch in the door and the bottom has the window track right close and with the double switches on the driver side I would be tight if I could at all put them close together. these were literally my only options. these doors have no depth at all and the motors sit tight in there.
