66 Charger

[Randy Wagner]

Hi, I'm new to forum, working on a 66 Charger with a 318 and automatic trans. Purchased this car at auction without looking closely at the whole car. My son saw nice paint and the word Hemi on the hood and had to have it. Got it home to find no wiring at all in the car, just enough to get it started. I've worked for about a year and half slowly rewiring the whole car and just about have everything working and back together. "Including all the EL lighting" never heard of EL light before this car, which is my project like this. Had all the gauges redone by the Gauge Doctor, thank you Dean. My first real question for the forum is about two missing switches on the dash. The rotating headlight dash switch and there's another missing switch on the other side of dash that in some pictures I've seen looks like a toggle switch of some kind. Haven't started or the Headlight motors yet, just want to get enough done to make a road appearance before fall

Welcome to FBBO from NY, Randy.
Way to persevere on your sons project the last year and a half. Hopefully he helped you. Post some pics of the Charger. Guys around here love pics when you make an introduction.

For your electrical questions we have an entire section on the forum for that. You can find it here. Good luck finding some solutions.

I'd highly suggest you buy (book) or download a Factory Service Manual
