Help..what do I need to do?

Kaiser Forum / Re: Rt side brake light doesn't work, 54 K late special
« Last post by joefrazer on August 28, 2024, 07:27:13 AM »If the tail light and the turn signal work, then the issue is not at the socket. A bad ground would cause all three to fail. There are two wires to each tail lamp. One feeds the tail light itself and the other handles the turn signal and brake light half of the bulb. It's the wire with yellow thread in it's casing. Hopefully, there's enough good wire to see the difference.
Here's a link to the 1953 wiring diagram. It is the same as your 54 except that it doesn't show the pigtail for the upper lamp.
One thing to try, remove the bulb from the upper lamp and see if your brake light now works. I've seen where the wrong bulb will cause the lower to act erratically.

Kaiser Forum / Rt side brake light doesn't work, 54 K late special
« Last post by Jim K545 on August 21, 2024, 02:34:17 PM »I have a 54 late special. All of the taillights work the way they should except the right brake light. Rt taillight works and rt directional light works but the right brake light doesn't. Both filaments work as they should, taillight filament is dimmer and the directional filament is brighter. Left side lights work as they should. I have added external grounding wires to both taillights. Did the same with my old 1970 Commando. 
If someone can suggest a solution before I poke around these brittle wires, I would appreciate it.

« Last post by Fid on August 12, 2024, 04:18:35 PM »If you look in the shop manual, it specifies the point gap at .020 for Autolite distributors and .022 for Delco distributor equipped. My experience has been that the Delco systems work much better with the points gapped a .020
