    So.. finally yesterday it got inspected.... 4 small problems they found.. the hardest to fix will be to find a new direct level switch.. it didnt stay when you signal right so you must hold it ...

    regards stig

    You should be able to find that signal switch fairly easily; - they were used in 1967 and 1968. The 67 might be a little different only because it doesn't have marker lights and the front signal lights go off when the headlights are put on; - the 68 is more "modern", but I think that had more to do with the headlight switch than the signal switch.

    I can't read Swedish, what else was wrong?

    Good that it is saved; that will be a nice car when finished. If the wood on the dash is dry, you can try a paint stripper with steel wool to get the old varnish off, (carefully!) and then treat it liberally with Danish furniture oil; - it brings it right back.

    I did that to mine a few years ago and it still looks great

    Then do you want to buy some 8-tracks?
    I've got about 300 of either Rock or Country that came with my car when it returned to me. The goat-roping (country and western music) stuff can all be sold, before I use it for skeet-shooting or leave it in jumbled heaps on curbs to remind people what streets during the 70s looked like.

    The original 8 track player that's in it has remarkably good sound if it is working properly

    Excellent! Good to see an older 4 door Electra getting some love.
    I sold my 67 Wildcat so I don't need the 8 track anymore. I installed a newer (1968) one in the Electra, and it works well enough. It looks like it belongs there.
    Now to get the cruise control working...
    Enjoy your car!:)
