Quote from: Rickmustang on November 20, 2025, 09:49:38 PMI need to transport a big block vert from Calgary to Austin. Any recommendations that include brokerage across the border? Thanks
For cross border, I've personally used:

TFX Auto Transport
https://www.tfxinternational.com/
and
Reliable Carriers
https://www.reliablecarriers.com/services

Never an issue with either.

Quote from: 67 GT350 on November 18, 2025, 05:37:49 PMIs there a simple answer here? any recommendation on plug in LEDs for tail lights, reverse lights, front parking/turn signal lights....
I know they are 1156 and 1157 bulbs, I am looking for a brand that might be better than others?

I've yet to change anything but headlights, in which case, I've had three cars now that I've installed the Holley Retrobright headlights. I have been seriously considering them in my 70 Shelby, but have not come to grips with that one just yet. I have done research on the 1156 & 1157 bulbs and have found that Sylvania and I believe Phillips have them out on the market. Personally, I prefer to use those offered by a manufacturer with a long history of "like and kind" offerings, as their history in the automotive field are second to none. The re4ason I've yet to try them is I'm uncertain if I would need some type of diode or different flasher units to get them to work the way they are supposed to. I'll be installing my NOS headlight switch later this week, may pull a set of the Retrobrights out of one of my existing cars to give them a test install. Now that I'm typing this out, I may use one of my Cobra replicas as a LED "guinea pig" for the brake, running, and turn signals. If so, I'll let you know how it goes.

Of course some Couger parts crossover with Mustangs , so just checking if
anyone had any thoughts on their experience.
thanks!

Many times over the years without any issues

Just a follow up, found the box, had the old, original headlight switch from 1584 in it, grabbed a C9ZZ-11654-A off Ebay, hope it works.

Quote from: 69 GT350 Vert on November 07, 2025, 07:50:57 AMIf you could find a NOS original that would be the best option.  I found mine on eBay but that was 10 years ago. 

I'm thinking I have one somewhere, but could not find it yesterday morning before I left, which is why I made the post to start this thread, both to see what else is out there, and confirm the factory part number so I can dig through my countless boxes of small NOS bits and pieces.

Quote from: FL SAAC on November 07, 2025, 12:05:11 AMI would suggest that you check out the alternator,  voltage regulator, grounds and then the headlight relay.


All of these suggestions are relevant, thank you, nothing else was in your response. While you meant well, historically, your posts have been off topic, and just plain wrong, you really should refrain from google searching or using A.I. for your responses. Perhaps refrain from responding to my posts and threads would be best.

As a response though, all have been carefully and thoroughly checked, tested, and are all fine,with the cause of my original problem (no dash lights) being found to be a bad (cracked) rheostat in the original Ford headlight switch, which is why I specifically asked about the best headlight switch to replace my current, and substandard, freshly changed unit.

Perhaps someone else has hands on experience and will respond more competently than you did.
