GENERAL DESCRIPTION

.
The lighting system includes: the main lighting switch,

stop light, dimmer, and backing lamp switches, head-

lamps, parking lamps, stop, tail and directional lamps,

instrument illumination and indicator lamps, and the

necessary wiring to complete the various circuits. A

fuse panel provides convenient power take offs and fuse

clips for the appropriate circuits (fig. 1).

Chevrolet and Chevelle headlamp installation is all

new in that the headlamps are located in the radiator

support with adjusting screws and springs. Eliminating

the need for having separate headlamp housings. Chev-

rolet and Chevelle headlamp retainers and springs are

interchangeable.

Chevy n headlamp housings are new because of revised

front end styling and Corvette front end lighting is basi-

cally carryover.

Front fender lamps have been added as an option for

Chevrolet models and as standard equipment on Caprice

series.

Camaro models use single headlamps and the Rally

Sport model headlamps are covered by a retractable

section of the grille when lamps are not used. The sec-

tion of the grille covering the headlamps folds back when

lights are required; the headlamps are stationary. The

covering is retracted by a small electric motor mounted

to the headlamp housing. The headlamps are automat-

ically uncovered when the headlight switch is pulled "ON"

for illumination. If at any time the electrical circuit

becomes inoperative, the lamps can be uncovered manu-

ally. The ignition switch must be
"ON"
in order to close

the headlamp doors.

Parking lamp for Chevelle and Chevrolet models are
new due to revised front end sheet metal and bumper

styling. Parking lamps are located in the bumper on

Chevrolet, Chevelle and Chevy n models

Camaro parking lamps are located in the radiator

grille except for the Rally Sport models on which the

parking lamps are in the valance panel. For styling

reasons, the lens is white and an amber glass bulb is

used. All Camaro parking lamps require a separate

ground wire to assure a good ground contact because of

the plastic grille and painted contact surfaces.

The Chevrolet tail, stop, and directional lamps are in

one housing with a three section lens design on Impala

and Caprice sedans. The center lens for Impala series

is the back-up lamp. The center lens on the Caprice is

a tail lamp with the back-up lamps being located in the

rear bumper. Chevrolet station wagons have three indi-

vidual housings with three lenses, the center lamp being

the back-up. Biscayne and Bel-Air sedans have a single

housing and lens for tail, stop, and directional lamp with

a similarly constructed back-up lamp inboard and adja-

cent to it.

Chevelle tail, stop, and directional lamps are a single

lens design that follows through with the rear fender

styling. The back-up lamp is located in r.ear bumper.

Camaro models except Rally Sport have tail lamps

with integral back-up lamps mounted inboard of the rear

fenders between the trunk opening and bumper. The

Rally Sport model has dual tail lamps in the rear housing

and valance mounted back-up lamps.

Corvette, Chevy n, and Corvair tail and directional

signal lights are carryover. The Corvette has new back-

up lamps center mounted above the license plate opening.

WINDSHIELD
WASHER PUMP

The windshield washer pump used on the 2-speed Type

"E"
wiper motor assembly is a positive displacement

type pump employing a small bellows, bellows spring and

valve arrangement. The pumping mechanism is actuated

by a four lobe cam and driven directly by the wiper motor

(fig. 71). Thus, when the wiper is operated, this rotor is

always turning with the gear. Programming is accom-

plished electrically and mechanically by a relay assembly

and ratchet wheel arrangement.
