70 lights are bigger than the 69 stuff. Unless you want to do paint work there's not much you can do to get them to fit.
I've kicked around the idea of using 70s 80s markers to get a socket onto the backside of the 69 housings. Cut a hole in the housing behind the reflector and use a cut up late model housing to hold the bulb. The mounting studs on the 69 housing can be used to attach the late model socket. Shouldn't be to difficult to do, I would only caution on the distance of the bulb from the lens. But LED's would solve that

Ummm... what type are you looking for? I still see scoops of different styles being offered by various 'glass companies. 70-74 R/T I have never seen that style as an aftermarket scoop by itself, only as a complete hood. US Body offers both a pin-on and hinge-type fiberglass hood in that style. I suspect the closest thing you can find as a separate scoop is going to be a low-profile cowl design.

Not sure this will help.
I had an 86 Daytona that would shut everything down electrical, but the engine, occasionally. I about tore my hair out trying to figure it out and it wasn't until a bud needed a jump and neither of us had jumper cables. So I hot swapped my charged battery for his drained battery.
That fixed my problem, so I bought a new battery.
Only thing I could figure was that the original battery had some sort of intermittent fault.

Everyone says they want a station wagon.
No one really wants to buy one, though. Exactly. Here's one way to put it in perspective. The final year I was married, I had to move my wagon ('73 for those who don't remember) out of the garage and park it in the driveway. This was also shortly after I bought my ratty '93 Dakota. In the 9 months the wagon sat outside (and overall condition looked MUCH better than the Dakota) I had several people stop and ask about the Dakota, but not one regarding the wagon. Since then, I've even found a note on my Dak asking if I wanted to sell. When I sold it last year, I didn't have the time (or desire) to wait for the 'right' buyer. Time and time again I got the comment ' if only it wasn't a '73' or ' too bad it's not a '71 or '72'. I had a lot of extra parts, crash parts if you will as I had initially planned to build it to daily/travel in (but life kept getting in the way). It came down to first person to offer cash. On one hand, I got less than I wanted (in light of all the extra parts) but I got more than scrap value. ![frowwn frowwn](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/frowwn.gif) Annoyingly, I think the person bought it just for the engines (440 and 400) and the 8 3/4 axles as not too long after selling it, parts from my stash and my wagon started showing up on FB. If the ads are to be believed, the person sold the extra set of fenders I had for slightly more than half of what he paid me for everything (when I tried to sell them off, I got zero offers). Sorry for the ramble, I guess what I'm trying to say is that unless the '74 is big block and extra minty, you'll have an easier time selling the '72. To use one to fix the other, too much is different. The '72 would be easier to buy chassis parts for but to the best of my knowledge no one makes any sheet metal for either one and good luck finding weather stripping.

I've replaced a few failed switches in GM cars of that era so not a bad idea. I can't remember if those had ignition voltage in their datastream but if you have a scanner it's worth checking.
LS equipped trucks in that era were known for breaking the ground wire at the back of the intake. That would typically shut things down though.

I asked a SPECIFIC question. Do A12 cars come with GE or Westinghouse headlights. I KNOW every car with 4 head lights can come with either. If someone is restoring an A12 car, I want to offer my DATE CODED head lights to them.WINGNUT is that for a lot of money?

I think there is still a market for the early 70's wagons. I know this is far from an apples to apples comparison, but about six months ago I listed a 72 Ford Country Sedan wagon in comparable condition to these. Pretty solid but needing a complete restoration. Ran but ran terribly. I listed it on Craigslist for $3800 and had an unbelievable response and ended up getting full price for it. I was shocked because I also thought the older wagons were the only ones that were desirable. The wagons that are a little newer may not be as cool as the 60's models, but still cool enough for there to be a demand.

What brand "green" bearing are you buying that don't have the outer snap ring, travel limiting O rings? I've never had to remove anything from any of the rear ends, 8 3/4 or Dana 60 that I converted to the green axles bearings

Likely plenty of how to videos on youtube.
I replaced a battery in a S7 samsung, watched how to do it on YT.
Biggest issue with many of the repairs is if the waterproof capability is still intact, if applicable.

I quit watching when they "pussified" the event with rough driving penalties and tire cautions so the less prepared teams could get their setups right. The 3 car teams also bug me when the good driver on the team won't put a lap the bad driver on the team. The last full race I watched was the Bickyard when Jimmy Johnson was leading and good year brought a crap tire to the race. Well they let all the teams come in for a mandatory caution every 20 laps. Now when you let the 48 team in first they will pretty much leave first then lead almost the entire race which they did and Jimmy won from the pole. Gus That Indy tire debacle race was worse than that. Some teams had cars that ran well for 15-20 laps. Others had a hard time going 12. They were throwing cautions right at the window, 10-12 laps, where the 48 fell of fast. The 99 was set up and could run more laps before the tire let go. The last segment of the race, less than 12 active race speed laps, coincidence. Not a fricken chance. If you know what you got and the tire letrs go in 13 laps you better be pitting before that, if you can go 15-20, then you have an advantage which is what racing should be about. More shenanigans and manipulation from the brass at Na$crap. Nascrap is a chevy/gm show the last 40 years.
