    U-joints stiff after install--is this normal?

    Help! 1965 corvette

    Looking at the diagram for my '63, it is difficult to trace headlight and headlight switch power to it's source. Here's how it appears to me... There are 2 wire bundles/connectors into the large firewall connector on the firewall above the steering column; each connector has 4 pairs of stacked...
