1967 wiring

[Jeremy H.]

What makes the "lights" indicator flash on the cluster when the headlights are on, but the buckets are not up? A have a 67 with all new wiring and new limit switch's, what could be the problem? Everything else works.

Jeremy,

are you saying that the warning light is not flashing?

You also need a specil bulb (I think a 257 but not positive) otherwise it will only light up when activated and go off when limit switches are activated. And not flash as intended.

Re: 1967 wiring

Yes, Rich is correct, the lamp used in the '67 headlight warning position on the dash is a 'flasher' lamp (GE #257) which has a special filament to make it blink. Your copy of the owner's manual should have a lamp chart which calls out what lamps are used where in the car...

Not installing the special blinker bulbs in mid-year cars is a VERY common restoration mistake that judges see all the time.
