thats a beautiful car 65 topless!!
id like to mention the use of wd40, and recommend against it.
im an electrician by trade, and ive done my fair share of pool pump rooms. but before i go into that, lets talk about what wd40 is and what it is not.
wd40 is more of a solvent than a protective oil. The wd stands for water displacing and all of that, but in my experiance it is much more of a solvent. It works wonders at removing bumper sticker glue, and what not, but long term protection against corrosion it does not do well at all cause it evaporates leaving the metal untreated.
Since it is much more of a solvent, when it evaporates it removes any good corrosion preventative that might have been on there before (youd be suprised at how much there might really be).
back to pool pump rooms. Ive seen electrical equipment completely rusted shut in less than 1 month from being sprayed with wd40 and when you compare it to a piece of gear that hasnt been wiped down with wd40 in the same room, the difference is night and day with the untreated stuff being not nearly as corroded.
in my personal experiance with the stuff, its not useful as a corrosion preventative.
one more thing id like to offer up on your wiring problems, and its just a bit of advice ive learned over the years.
if all else fails to fix your light problems, turn to your turn signal switch.
dang near every light on your vehicle runs through that switch inside of your steering column, and everyone ive ever seen has been plastic, and they like to crack from heat, age, and or use. cant say this is your problem, or that a 65 has a plastic T.S. switch inside of the column (the white plastic thing your turn signal lever bolts onto inside the column), but if you have tried everything else, and you still cant get your problems ironed out, turn to the T.S. switch.
if no wiring harness is available, you can always rewire your harness yourself. This isnt hard to do at all. i can probably help with that with advice, and with sources for the stuff to do it.
