This one is fairly easy. Rebleed the brakes. The PDWA shuttle isn't
centered between the front and rear brakes. This causes the brake
and oil warning lights to come on.

Without my manual available, I would guess that the infamous inline
fuse is blown. Although if the parking/side lights and the taillights
come on, I would think about checking the lights themselves. (Far
fetched, but on my '71 Torino both low beams were blown!)

Check with TS Imported for a used switch. 1-800-543-6648.

I don't know that there are any attaching bolts on the side of
the factory hardtop. The front should have a couple of bolts
poking through the header, and then the nuts come up from
underneath.
