Headlights blinking on and off
Got home late last night with my 66 from a great fall golf day and my lights starting blinking on and off when I got in the driveway- Luckily- Bad switch? i think i replaced it a couple of years ago or is a grounding issue? Thanks for the help[

The headlight switch has a circuit breaker in it that opens to protect the headlight circuit in case of a short to ground. It's possible that the circuit breaker is bad, otherwise it's likely that you have a short to ground somewhere in the circuit after the headlight switch (or you have a bad connection).

If it`s not that, if it`s a fairly fast blink, like 1 per sec, it may be the alt/reg, poor gnd or bat connections in those circuits or a bd diode in the alt.

Noticed my lights had a pulsating dim the other night. Had it checked thought it may be voltage regulator.....
