Sounds like a grounding issue. Have you tried bumping on the light housing
with the palm of your hand? Sometimes it just needs a minor bump to get a good
connection. Remember, the early cars didn't get seperate ground wires like the
69 and later cars did. :O You could always remove the lense, and try backing
out one of the 2 screws, and the re-tighten it. The plate light gets power
from right side on a Square and Fastback, and left side on a Notch. I hope this
helps.
