Today I am driving my 70 LT1 coupe home from work, most of the time between 80 and 110 mph with no issues. (I think that I have mentioned that I love living in Germany.) Traffic cleared and I sprinted up to 130 mph, glanced down to check the tach (5500), and as my scan went back to waaay in front of me, I noticed something weird. I stopped accelerating and glanced down again to be sure, and verified that my LH headlight bucket was up. I reached over and slapped the headlight switch and verified that it was in the off position. I glanced at the wiper door and it was full closed. At this point I decided that the speed of heat was not the proper environment for troubleshooting and slowed down to 100 mph. I never consciously saw the RH headlight bucket in the up position. As I slowed down, the headlight bucket closed. Traffic was still clear when I slowed down to exit the Autobahn, so I grabbed third gear and ran it back to 5500 rpm to see if it was vacuum related but the headlight bucket stayed down. I got into my driveway and ran the headlights and wiper door through their paces at idle and everything worked properly. Both headlight buckets are faired properly to the nose, with no edges protruding to catch any extra air.
So, what just happened?
