I've got a 79 with an electrical issue.  Sometimes the windows, blinkers, and brake lights work.  Sometimes they don't.  Do you guys think this is a loose lead coming into the fuse block or something else?

Yup....


Sounds like you could have a fuse-link problem, or even a loose connection at the starter wire(12v+) that feeds the rest of the car.

Check/clean your battery cables and ground wire connections.

I have been experiancing a similar problem on my 76 in that my blinkers were working in a erratic fashion and now they just stay on when I signal and I believe my headlights are flashing as I drive since people are flashing thier head lights at me as I approach them.
Any reason of this type of problem?
