Re: '63 Galaxie "Box-Top" newbie

Hey guys,
I need some more assistance. I had gotten my clock back; it looks great, works great. Major props go out to"Clockworks". Great job guys.. Thanks for the heads up from the forum member..
The issue is that the light appears not to be working. I assume the plug for the light taps into the junction female with 2 others. Anybody happen to have any pics??? The wiring diagram just shows going from bulb to junction. What am i  Missing?
Anybody near have any 7" 15" oem ford wheels? A link? something. Every time I search it is always gm style wheels. I want the ford wheels so I can swap out baby moons and dog dish center caps...

FWIW, I put 15x7 with 4.25 backspace supplied by Wheels Vintique (bought from Summit Racing) on my '66 Mustang several years ago when I upgraded to CSRP's disk brake kit. The series 62 (upper right corner of the link below) are coated with gray primer; I cheaped out and did not have them power coated, which would be a mistake except that car is quite a plain driver cosmetically.  Spray bomb black with clear coat is just OK.

IThe 68-73 Ford Motor Company (wth the outer black circle) dog dish hubcaps fit very well.  They look as original as any Ford products I've seen; lots on eBay.
