Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.

Thanks much. I'm also looking for a pigtail for the rear side marker lights.

No problem - that's what we are here for.

If those are the same as my 69, I got mine from NAPA.

Just a note, the dash has very poor lighting using the factory bulbs you might want to get soem LEDS, it sure brightened my dash up to whre it is well readable
