4. Also it has the flip covers for the headlights. Everytime i turn them on and they open i get a very annoying buzzing sound that buzzes, stops, buzzes click right at the relay under the dash. got another really from the junkyard still making the noise.So i unplugged them and it stopped.any idea what that could be?
Even if your headlight covers go down, if they don't go all the way, it's let you know it's not run full travel, same when closing. I'd suggest twisting the torsion rods so the covers actually slam down. Take 2 small vice grips and place them several inches apart. then hold one steady (one closest to motor) and twist the other "outside" one the direction you need to adjust.
Hope this helps.

 The headlight door relay will keep clicking if the doors don't open or close completely. I hope you aren't driving it in bad weather, but is can happen a lot during snowy or icy weather. There's probably a decal under the hood that shows how to manually open them under those conditions. Like your hood latch, lube all the moving parts in the headlight door assembly.

The "other switch" on the floor is probably the Search/Scan button for the radio.
The 78's did not have this. That floor S/S button goes back to a earlier time.
The mid to late 70's DID have a seek/scan button on the floor!!!!! IF the car came with the electronic radio that had multiple slider controls and NO knobs to control anything. That was the top of the line radio at the time and is usually shown in Chrysler sales brochures.

Come on, man! I know that most of us car guys are NOT rocket surgeons, but DESMOGIFIED!? How would you "Smogify" an engine anyway? This reminds me of a guy bragging about taking a womans virginity....." Dude, I DEvirginized her!" Nobody can VIRGINIZE anyone else, nor can they DE virginize them.

Recipe for mixed metaphor
Add 1 metaphor (Rocket scientist)
Add 2nd metaphor (Brain surgeon)
Mix well until blended.

Wow, I really cant believe that you DIDNT get the joke. I was illustrating the absurd by BEING absurd. I GOT the meaning of your response, I was merely commenting on the "creative" description of smog era camshafts and pistons.
