I have had the dash apart for weeks, The headlight pull switch failed. I got a new one from Charles Fares. Thank you Charles!! The speedometer failed, There are a few places where this problem could come from and this one was a bad cable from the transmission to the cruise control unit. I pulled the standard steering column out and installed a tilt column with a recast steering wheel (thank you Jason and Russ!!). I had melted AC and heater conectors – I replaced these. Along the way I replaced bulbs and such. I did NOT replace the dimmer switch – it the tilt different than the non-tilt. Now the dimmer switch on high turns off the instrument lights
Why would this happen? Non-tilt dimer switch? I forgot to plug something in? Any ideas??

Since turning on the hi beams also turns on the hi beam indicator bulb in the instrument panel I would look for issues with that light. I would remove that light and light base/socket from the back of instrument cluster, remove the bulb from base, tape off the bulb base so it does not touch metal then try your high beams. If hi beams work, and rest of dash lights stay one, I would test the bulb out of the base, then inspect the light base. Perhaps the bulb or base is causing a short. Before chasing anything else, that would be the most obvious place to look first.

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
