    1960 Issues

    Two issues:

    283, single carb, PG transmission - car starts and runs fine when it is cold. If I shut it down after it reaches normal temperature, very difficult to start and only by pushing accelerator pedal to the floor. Once it starts it idles and I can rev it up in Neutral, but as soon as I put it into D or R, it dies immediately. It will do this over and over until finally I get it to go. No work under the hood in the past 3 years and it has been doing this for about a year. Vapor lock?

    When I pull on the headlights, low beams only, the high beams are both barely glowing and the driver side low beam is half power and the passenger low beam looks to be full power. Never seen this before. No rewiring in the past 3 years. Some type of short?

    Your headlight problem is most likely due to a bad ground in the circuit. I'd begin by checking the connectors in front of the radiator where the headlight harness's plug into the main.Main sure all connections are clean and tight. Then continue checking ground connections. Rich
