lighted headlight switch
I had to replace the heater core in my 63 SDV, so I decided to replace all the dash lights with LED's. and replaced all the vacuum lines. While I was in there, I added a light to the headlight switch and also added a buzzer that lets me know I left the lights on when I open the door. If interested, I will post how I did these things.

This is the mod to the headlight switch. I soldered the white/black wire to the dark green wire (did not cut either one) and also soldered a pigtail to it for the light bulb and a lead to a relay for a headlight reminder when the door is open and lights are still on. Soldering the white/black and dark green together keeps the parking lights on with the headlights.

Rob Schles,
At some point I would like to do this when we have to remove the instrument cluster... replace the dash lights with LED's, add a light to the headlight switch, and splice the wires so parking lights remain on with headlights. The buzzer is nice, but not a must-have. Replacing the vacuum lines is an arduous project, but if that is the time to do it...

I agree with this laundry list! While shes open, may as well replace what needs replacing!

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

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…
