<VV> electrical abnormality on 63

[J R Read_HML]

Matt - it is either bad ground on left side (most likely) - it is finding 
ground over on the right side and lighting up everything in between.  OR the 
1157 bulb on left side is not seated properly in the socket - making contact 
to both filaments at the same time (less likely).

I've been told that on earlies (no personal experience here) - the fix for 
bad ground is drill a hole through the back of the housing and into the body 
and put a nice clean sheet metal screw through that hole.  Of course, if you 
are a STOCK ONLY type, this does not fly and you need to do it right by 
cleaning all the connections.
