Repop headlite sockets and the repo headlight switch at the bottom of the steering column cause a lot of grief, an electrical gremlin's delight

In all my years I have experienced a dist lower wire, an armored cable (the fat original one), and a brake switch that hung when I jumped on the brake. My powerhouse just quit, after all these years. I just swapped it, and left it at that. All in all, a pretty good car.

I agree with Jeff, The headlight sockets and the headlight switches in Repro parts are the worst.
