Tom,

My Nicaraguan-delivered 69 Notch has the exact same setup as yours.  But
when I bought it, the city lights weren't wired up at all.  I am assuming
they are original, as the P.O. was all about doing a 'factory restoration'.
It took me the longest time (actually, till one of my headlights went out)
to notice they were there.  About two months ago I wired them into the
parking light circuit.  Is that how yours is done?

One more quick one:  I also have a 6V BN(?) heater from my 66 Fastback TS
(read: donor) that I can't figure out how to get going.  It is
factory/dealer installed, but I can't find the switches or knobs or whatever
makes it work.  Any help here?  If I/we can figure it out, it's going in the
Notch.

Thanks,

Freddie Lochner
