    Do the lighted fuzes cause problems, or do you just get tired of your fuze box lighting up like a christmas tree?
    Don't wanna derail the thread, and I also can't find the post I remember that put it so well, but one of our very well seasoned electronically-savvy members said something along the lines of "a fuse is meant to open the circuit to protect electronics, how exactly is it an open circuit if it's lit up?"

    You shouldn't be blowing fuses often enough to need that kind of quick identification, really. Once you get your wiring all in order you should never blow them at all.

    I wondered about those fuses myself, but figured the LEDs light with such little power, they could probably step it down to the equivalent of a circuit with an "open" switch. Sort of like installing LED dome lights without changing the relay, when the lights are off they still light up.

    Wow, that's a bright blue.

    Still amazes me that these cars just pop up without anyone seeing them on ebay or CL.

    An entry in the "Introductions" thread would be a great read telling the back story of how you came to be the current owner and when/where it was painted.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
