Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
It's pretty. Not as pretty as the electroluminescent stuff Chrysler put out, but still pretty in a "sitting beside the wireless set" kind of way. I need to connect it up to the dash dimmer and see how well that works.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Looking at that and an illuminated redskin out front is a close runner up to Mopar madness though.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Test fit.
Ammeter registering a discharge because the headlight was on, turn signals work, brake lights work, hell- even the fuel gauge tells me the tank isn't completely dry.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
And I bet it indicated at ca 0.5 Hertz, like it is supposed to.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Yup. It's got whatever random 12V flasher unit it came with- the original 6V one is long gone.
It's also only driving a single 21W bulb up front, the 1.2W telltale and an LED bulb up back. That throws the blink rate off a little.
It blinks though. C'est bon
