1967 electrical problem

["Phil" <hilljack7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's been discussed before, it's a common problem on 67 and 68 models, where
the factory switch can't handle the amperage load anymore. There was a tip,
which should be in the e-mail library, of adding a relay, to take the
amperage, and using the original switch just as an on off switch for the
relay. I can see where I may have to do the same thing to my coupe, I've had
a couple of on and off headlight flashing problems myself. I tend to only
drive the car during the day, due to this.
