06.09.08 “In my 1967 GTO, I am having a nice electrical problem; maybe you can give a suggestion. I put in a new battery, alternator, starter, new ground & positive cables to the battery, 2 ground cables from the body to the motor & neg side of the battery to the body, new headlamp switch, new foot low/high switch & a new wiper switch.
When I drive at night sometimes I loose my headlights, I have to hit the floor switch, pull & push the headlight switch and usually the headlights come back on after I hit the lows back and play with the headlight switch. Also at night if the headlights are on the wipers will not come on and the gas gauge stops working. I was hoping it was a bad ground.
Here's the deal. It is night and I wanted to test the headlights when it was dark. (I was sick and tired of going in and out of the car to look at the lights by day). I just found by a fluke was this. I thought that my dash bulbs were bad on top of everything else but I am wrong. I also found a while back that by opening my door all of the interior lights were bright. With the rheostat turned to interior lights and the doors closed they came on dull. I also found that with the headlights on I had no wipers and no fuel gauge and the red hi beam lamp in the dash worked backwards.
I just found the problem to all of this and it makes no sense. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME HERE? I just pushed the lower heat control all the way to the right (hot no a/c) and I held it there with the headlights on. All of my dash lights came on, the wipers work, the fuel gauge works, the interior lights and red high beam lamp are correct. When I let go it went back to how it was. When I held it to the end it went normal again. I don't know if there is a wire behind the heat control or the lower arm contacted the other side and made a contact or the heater box is shorting out the system. I do know that is the problem but I can't drive it holding the lower arm all the way to the right.
PS: The headlights work fine too with the lower heat lever held to the right.

01.01.08 “I bought a 69 GTO Judge back in 94. The car is very solid, no rust. I brought the car home to Ohio, from California back in 96. It's been sitting in the barn until 07 when we started to restore it. I never bothered to check any # until now. Well, to find out it is a GTO but not a Judge, to say the least, I'm very happy. The person who I bought the car from asured me it was a Judge. I guess my questions is, Do I restore it as a GTO or a clone Judge? I never questioned it because it said Judge on the title. I really thought I had something. I'm really bummed. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.”

“The first car I ever bought was a 72' Catalina, back in 1975. My payments (through my dad) were 62 dollars a month, and I could barely afford that. It was bright yellow, with a black vinyl top. It eventually rusted, and I had it repainted, through an unscrupolous body shop. It didn't last. I have been looking for one ever since...”
