       Sorry Keith.  It had to be done.  Big improvement.     

27. Obtain/install hood seal protector for catch 
28. Replace engine cover insulation DONE (replaced with good cover) 
29. Clean and seal minor rust in spare tire well due to brake fluid 
30. Adjust parcel tray for more foot clearance 
31. Replace 009 distributor with Type 3 dizzy 
32. Check/adjust valves 
33. Swap to stock front shocks....Current ones are two stiff 

Only added one thing today and knocked off a bunch. 

As for the lights...still not sure what is going on. Installed all the proper fuses. Taillights work. Turn signals work. That is the good news. 

Not sure about the brake lights. Need a spotter for those. 

Headlights are on any time the battery is hooked up. Independent of what position the switch is in. Fog lights do not work at all. High beam switch does nothing. Looks like all the wires are hooked up properly...at least according to my wiring diagram. 

Switch bad? 
Short somewhere in the headlight circuit? 
Other ideas?

Later,
