May I ask what kind of lights you used in the dash?

I'm guessing after how this LS engine turned out Brizio will be doing more of them.

He's beginning to see the light…. and the "hot rodders" at Sids shop -- all agreed with the LS is Best…

We did discuss the "hook up a few wires and fire it off"… no timing lights… no distributor settings… no curves to work out… no fuel leaks… no oil leaks" --- He's still an old skool Ford in a Ford guy. But he gets it.

I think the average age of his clients is what keeps the LS builds down. Ya know the kind - the ones that say they want to be able to get simple parts if something happens on a trip…. to which I reply - I just want to do the trip… and what are these "parts" that you refer to… 'cause I've never needed any".

They are just dime store 12V LED's pushed thru the dash from the back and glued into place. They take about a 1/8" hole is all. And are dimmable.

So there's turn signal left and right - and hi-beam indicator.

They're there because I'm correcting everything I didn't do right on the '32…. On the '32 I constantly leave the turn signal on… because there's no indicator to tell me… and I never know if the hi-beams are on or off… and the key in the '32 is in an awkward place under the dash so it's hard to find the slot to put the key in… a PITA "effort" to keep the dash super tidy. F THAT! I want to just get in the SOB and drive… If you see the key - get over it! LOL
