[NoVa-Corvairs] Follow up to yesterday's NVCC Meeting!

[Frank DuVal]

Greg, did you change the turn signal switch? The brake and turn signal 
wiring goes through the turn signal switch. Check for voltage at the 
turn signal switch connectors, see shop manual for what terminal does 
what. If there, then check the dash to tunnel harness connector, then 
the engine harness connector. I make it sound so easy.;-)

Stan, you do not want full 12 volts on the headlamps. It will just blind 
your guests. So you need a variable voltage supply to get the brightness 
you think looks good for a party. Do you have the headlamp assemblies, 
etc? Blinker not as easy, probably needs a circuit built, 555 timer, 
relay, Greek stuff, more Greek stuff. When is the wedding? At first I 
thought you took the FC front panel from my yard, but if you did you 
repaired the large dent in the front! Do you want all four headlamps 
glowing?
