HI again,
I have the 63 cdv, with the flash assister on the dash,
My hi lo beams flash back and forth intermittently. sometimes they dont start flashing at all, sometimes they will just start flasihing on and off until I hit the button on the floor to get them to stop. sometimes they sound someone is down there hitting the floor button but the lights dont respond, you can hear the click but nothing happens, as if I have no control over that floor button. I have turned off the flash assister on the dash, even put black duct tape over the glass bulb in the event it was still picking something up. I pulled up the floor, and the single wire that plugs in on the floor seemed like it was loose, like the bayonet connection was not snug, so I changed all that, got a tight connection where it doesnt bounce, tightened the whole thing to the floor, but it still goes off on its on.
I tried looking at old threads but couldnt quite find an answer. I would like to just have it disconnected but shutting it off and blacking the gold didnt seem to help, so it must be somewhere else. it just seems to have. mind of its own, like there is a loose wire bouncing off somewhere and making intermittent contact to cause the high beam to erratically connect.
what is the best way to go here to figure out the inconsistency.
thanks

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,

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
