RE: IML: 67 Back Up Lights

["Edward Tiede" <e_tiede@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All;

    In regards to the back up lights I remember that when I purchased my 
'67 thirty some years ago the lights did not work.  The switch was ok but 
there was a small rectangular plastic piece that fit into a matchng hole at 
the top of the steerng column near the floor.  The lever of the swtch then 
fit into this hole.  This was missing and needed to be replaced before I 
could adjust the switch to work properly.
