RE: IML: Brake Light Switch on '56

[Jeff Cantor <jcantor791@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

The switch works.  It just doesn't turn the lights on until the pedal  
is near the bottom of it's travel and the car is either completely  
stopped or you're in the middle of a panic stop.  It had been much  
better after I first replaced it and bleed the air out not only  
through the lines but also at the switch by loosening it and letting  
it drip out a few drops before retightening it.  While the level in  
the reservoir is still within limits and the brakes themselves work  
well, the lights are no longer coming on soon enough.  Where else  
could I look??

I hate to say this, but I have never had a problem with air in the=20
switch. Every one I have ever replaced worked immediately, and I have=20
done a lot of them. I have also adapted incorrectly threaded=20
substitutes when necessary by adding a fitting to the master cylinder=20
still with no trouble. If you can't make the lights work with the=20
original type switch, I would be looking else where for the problem.
