Tod,
Bless the British automobile design criteria. The major problem with
electrics on older cars is the tendency of the poor light grounds to
have higher and higher grounding resistance. Check all your frame
grounds, make sure they are not rusty.
A clear coating over an assembled ground strap can reduce the rate of
corrosion.
Yes, "Off, Dim & Flicker" are the standard for lights, while slow,
slower, and intermittent are the standard for wipers. ;-)
