Yeah I think I looked at this kit once before but it seemed lik a lot of sorcing and didn't seem cheap.

But.... now I have a bit more time

I think I may look at this once I get my current g-rage project finished up.

Thanks for the link Jed.... I saved it in my favorites for a quick reference.

Met Chris at BG in 2003 and saw the electric headlight setup on 'Killer', his '69 Shark.  I was impressed with it.  But back to the issue at hand...

I've replaced all of the vacuum hoses in the engine compartment.  Still have to do the ones that go through the firewall.  I'll tackle those when I take the dash apart to get the speedo fixed.

A map of the vacuum hoses and a vacuum tester will help to isolate the problem with the headlights.
 
GOOD LUCK...!!!
