Auto headlight dimmer did not appear on Mopars until '59.

It has been pointed out that the light dimmer is from a GM!

Doesn't this car have auto-dimming headlights?  Perhaps the box has to do with that function?  Also would need an extra source of power for that unit.

Check out the wiring going to the compressor clutch. There are two wires
coming out of the protective loom, one will be 18ga light blue and the
other 14 ga brown. Most of us have seen these two wires terminate at the
duplex connector. NOBODY I KNOW, KNOWS WHAT THE BROWN POWER WIRE IS
THERE FOR!!

WELL, here it is, exiting the duplex connector and ACTUALLY going some
place!! None of us have ever seen that!!

I know a bunch of people who would like to talk to whoever buys this car
for this reason!!

Everything under the hood of that car appears to me to be close to
original. I have no idea what that box on the passenger side is for.
Perhaps these two unknowns are connected?

Pitch in ANYBODY.

Is there any possibility that this car could have been EFI converted
back to carbs and that box was part of the EFI system? That was a
possibility tossed out to explain that 14ga power wire when I was
searching for info years ago.

Looks to me like this car was certainly loaded with options!

For further info, that 14ga wire is hot. Runs from the battery terminal
of the starter relay into the taped A/C blower harness and ends as shown
at the compressor clutch. Highly unlikely that the factory did this for
NO reason. This was a 58 thing ONLY. Not used in 57 and certainly not in
59 or later.

Could any of you post those engine pics on the 300 club sites along with
my questions?

Sorry, but I don't know how to do that!!
