You only had lite when the car moved. I have a later model transaxle.

Currently, I can't remember the wiring harness configuration. I know that one of the 3 wires going to the headlamp had this "pigtailed" wore on it, only about 4" long. I forget the colors of the TS wires... I'll look and see. Thanks. > > Shout if ya want pix, my 64 is close and I could snap a couple of pix if > needed.

I'd appreciate it if you'd send a few pics my way. The more info the better!
