When Is A Light Not A Light?
(Preview)
I bought a complete, old base-model '64 Parisienne dash last Sunday out of a real beater (sorry, I had my camera, but I couldn't get at the tag under all the dirt, hemlock needles, ice & snow).

lamp sockets
(Preview)
The lighting in my dash of my 62 StratoChief seemed a little poor so I attempted to replace some bulbs. Some bulbs were burned, but in some cases there were no sockets. I could put my finger in the hole where the socket would go. Am I able to purchase replacement sockets? Thanks Doug

(Preview)
I'm trying to wire in a electric fan from a 88 firebird into a 65 fullsize. I know where the big red wire and the big black wire goes. What I need is where the tan/white wire goes as well as the green/white goes.One powers the relay the other is the ground switching wire.
