My '57 GMC has had a dashlight problem as long as I've owned it. Sometimes they just won't work at all;sometimes they quit while I'm driving,and sometimes they work fine for months. Often,I can get them to work again by twisting the light switch knob back and forth a buncha times,sometimes that helps not a bit. I even replaced the switch twice,and replaced the wiring to the dash lights,but it made no difference. It's okay though,I'm used to it now.
Oh-it bends pushrods every time I wind it more than 4,200 rpm,but that doesn't happen any more,since I re-geared it.
