<VV> Mystery wires

[Mike Stillwell]

 Ken,

 Sounds like a parking brake indicator light. An option that told you the parking brake was still on. See if the wires don't lead back to a switch on the Emergency Brake ratchet assembly/handle.
 
 Any luck on the finding the 330 distributor and the thermister?
