I know it sounds silly,,,,,under hood lamp

[Hawklover]

So I am really liking the AC-3339 under hood lamp kit on my Avanti. I lined the housing with 3M reflective tape and that 1003 bulbs really shines! Such a simple thing to give a bit of pleasure..........and for my fellow Avanti owners, if you get this kit, forget about the instructions,they make zero sense, just use your intuition and you will be fine.

Didn't Under Hood Lamps always say in the instructions to mount it so it lights the Distributor?

I think they knew something, they were not going to actually SAY!

[Hawklover]

Well Rich its something to ponder!

So many little details on these Studebakers to bring us joy!

and here I thought AC-3339 was an exhaust tip kit

I think the dip stick hole is just as important, especially when you can't find it in the dark. I have two mounted on the firewall to light up both sides.

Bingo!.....my bad.............should have said AC-3331:-)

To make dipsticks easier to find you can take a clue from modern cars. Paint the dipstick handle bright yellow, orange or green like a '70 Chrysler muscle car. Mine are bright orange, very easy to find; but now that I think about it, I think I'll repaint them bright green , it'll go better with my blue car and engine, but being a Ford guy at heart I'll use Ford's "grabber green" instead of Chrysler' "limelight", it's similar but just a bit more subdued...and I already have it.

Finding the dipstick in the dark is no problem.
It's finding the tube to re-insert it that's the problem. A little white paint around the tube tip helps.

I recon I could find the dipstick and also find the tube to re-insert it in the dark BUT I don't think I could read the oil level, LOL. Cheers Harryhawk
