Re: A '54 named Busty
finally liberated the headlight switch and documented every wire
Thick Red - three way split (Amp Gauge, Ignition, and the third is out the firewall to a two way split on the Engine Firewall side, of which one end goes to starter positive ie battery + and the other to the now defunct voltage regulator)FUN FACT: There is no Headlight fuse in your fuse panel, the headlight switch has a built in circuit breaker!

Re: A '54 named Busty
Thanks Jim, any tips on fixing / replacing a rusty driver side kick panel, I have a nasty 12" rusted out gash diagonally across it, I will try to snap a pic of it, odd why it's there, I could see such damage around the heater core but this is on the opposite side?
