<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style=" font-size:12pt">I think everyone knows that our more rural areas will be the last ones to be
hit, simply because of their relative isolation. Later is probably better, but the
thing to keep in mind is not only your local population density but also the
"depth" of your local health care system. I recently learned that only about
half of US counties have ANY ICU beds, and almost half of rural counties
don't even have a hospital.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style=" font-size:12pt">I think there were several ways they could be wired, depending on the
requirements of the market they were sold to. This was probably tied to the
lens color. Some were turn signals, some may have been running lights, and
some were parking lights that only came on when you turned the key off and
pulled the TS switch in one direction or another. That would light up only that
side light to help keep your car from being sideswiped when parked
alongside the road. Some of these options probably required a different
parking light switch and maybe even a different ignition switch.</span></font></div>

ignition systems and how they work, with emphasis on the standard, OE,
Kettering system that nobody seens to understand. I would also try to
explain CDI and "Electronic" systems.</span></font></div>
