66 Valiant - stranded on road trip

Hi Slant6

No upgrades, no radio, no special wiring. I did replace most of the charging system (alt, reg and battery) recently. Turned out to be the R6 through the bulkhead, i bypassed the bulkhead and ran a lead straight through. THis seemed to work great. Charging is fine.

I was worried about a short in my headlight switch. My driving lights wouldn't come on, i replaced the headlight switch, they worked for an hour and then not again. I ran a jumper on the switch from the headlight "on" connector to the taillight connector, so when the headlights are all the way on, so are my driving and headlights. This was also working well. But maybe a bad idea?
