I installed a remote brake fluid reservoir on the fire wall for ease of inspection and maintenance. Electric- 6 volt system using a Optima gel cell battery charged by an alternator. Trouble free system. I rewired the complete car and all circuits pass thru a blade type fuse block located on fire wall. Lighting- All lights work. Have converted headlights to sealed beam and added {what I think are attractive -period correct} directional lights for safety. A high quality directional switch is located on steering column. There are 2 working fog lights on front bumper.
