    quarter inch bleed nipple at a weird angle. 67 Belvedere

    I use a one way bleeder valve, $10 bucks on amazon. Also there are some things called speed bleeders but they go for over $20, however they are permanent and if they work as advertised seems like a damn easy way of bleeding brakes.

    quarter inch bleed nipple at a weird angle. 67 Belvedere

    Thanks y'all @4406bbl and @wvmarv ! I will order one of those tools since I don't have a grinder and I live in an apartment. For now I went with a quick fix and so far it's an improvement. I losened it with a socket until I saw one drop then finger tightened. So I put the tube in and pinched...

    quarter inch bleed nipple at a weird angle. 67 Belvedere

    Any idea how the heck I can angle in to the bleed nipple to losen it? there is not much clearance. Ideally what I've seen on bleeding brakes is that you place a tube through a spanner/wrench and then attach the tube. don't see how that can happen with the spanner being at a weird angle which...

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    Ohhhh I see, that was the last piece of the puzzle I was missing. There's no actual ground wire, ground goes directly through the socket itself. I also wired the socket backwards, flipped it and now everything works!!!! :drinks: Thank you @bobsgtx and @Don Frelier and the one dude that sent me...

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    Both tail lights have their own ground connections. Brake lights are nice and bright after I replaced the right side socket. But Nope still no taillights. Funny thing is if I have both sockets out of their housing, the tail lights work. As soon as the socket touches the housing they turn off...

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    Welp I found the issue, the ground inside the right side tail light socket is toast. I dunno if there is a way to repair this, going to try this. Haven't found the socket for sale on its own, only have seen the whole harness or a used entire harness.

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    I ordered at O'Reilly's part 8-53-270, the headlight switch/dimmer. I'm replacing the headlight switch because it was previously giving me issues with dimming so hopefully that takes care of it. As with most of these switches typically they get grimy and stop dimming the instrument lights...

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    Also based off of a few messages received issue could be the head light switch which might not be too hard to check if I can squeeze my hand back there. Screenshot below of a diagram from a digital service manual that I got from the mymopar site.

    Tail lights 67 Belvedere

    Currently do not have tail lights. Advice on what I can check? Issue started with thinking there was a dome light problem. Learned that the dome light, brake lights and tail lights are on the same fuse. The 20A fuse was blown and so was a tail light bulb. I replaced the fuse and the tail...

    Yeah I don't drive it during rush hour at all. Mostly when traffic is low and certain neighborhoods that are a bit more chill.
