in the 67 i made a little harness that simply plugs in the orginal wiper plug to extend it enough for the wipers to be put on the right side, like the later models lights on left wipers on right

thanks it was the simplest way to fix the problem, yes just a male end terminal for the factory plug end and a female terminal for the wiper switch end. It should be ready for spring unless something crazy goes wrong. I'm kinda excited about the snow maybe, it might be a goodun the wife isn't wanting it because they don't have many "weather" days left and they are gonna take days out of there spring break if the use them all. BTW she is a teacher.

We have like 10 days!

The lights go on the right, right? Wipers stay where they are (I dont want the cluster to say lites, when its really wipers, etc)

Thanks! Any idea what to clean it with (windex) or will that mess somethign 40 years old up with?...

Re: Best place to buy 3 hole 67-68 dash bezel
 
haha i'll post my snow pix too!!!! we got ALOT OF SNOW! About how many inchs ya got hubscrub?!

I have great luck. My lil sis turned gas stove WAY UP last nite and had the smoke alarms going off at 3AM so I was up for 1 hr turning everything off turning stove down trying to go back to sleep. tThen my grandpaw calls (he has apt. in basement) saying there is no gas, so I go outside in the 6" of snow we got (it was nice until you are forced to be out in it) and check the propane, 0 propane, so hopefully the propane truck can make it to my house BFE.

Anyway, back on the guages..heres a few pix..
