Headlight switch

[George Burke]

Thanks Terry, but I also got the switch from NAPA, just before I found out that the connector had melted down. I used the old Delco Remy #, and they crossed it over. There was no actual # on either part.Earl Davissaid henowhas the switches in stock. I'm not sureif it matters switch wise, but my Bird is powered by a 534 c.i. Ford gas engine. The electrical diagram in my book actuallyshows a release dateof 9-18-1973. Mine is a 1977. Actually some of the wires do not match the diagram. If anyone has a gas engine powered Bird from the 70's, thatshows a different Electrical Diagram date than the above, I would love to talk to them.Thanks, George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte PS. the Delco # 1995163 = NAPA HL6554SB

George, do you need a headlight switch? I have a couple of new ones from BB. Can check the part number for you if you have the number for your switch?

My headlight switch has smoked its self. The connector went out with 

it. BB doesn't carry the connector, found at NAPA, EC20, along with the 

switch, a Delco, which some parts places say is prone to failure. I 



have found a wire that was in slot #3, (B/Y) that according to my BB 

schematic, is supposed to be in slot #7. Maybe that is why my dash 

lights won't dim, which was a previous problem. Also previously, I had 



to jiggle the rod to get the headlights to come on sometimes. I have 

had to do that once with the new switch. Has anyone had to deal with 

this problem. Would be appreciative of some insight, as I am worried 

that some other wire switching may have occured. I might add that on 



this bus, when I replaced the gen.hr. meter, someone had crossed the 

wires, putting the previous one to rest. You see why I am concerned 

about correct wiring here. Thanks for any help, George Burke 1977 FC31
