So whats the scoop on the lighter location in a 70 Swinger, 340 4speed, in the bezel, in the ashtray, both??
I didnt realize that sometimes there could be two. Thats great to know, thanks!My 70 Swinger 340 4sp has both
I believe the bezel lighter was for the passenger, ash tray lighter for the driver
I did use the bezel location for a hand choke cable back in the early 80's, worked great. My exhaust heat riser valve was removed by the PO.
Ahhhh, so just because there is a hole for one, doesn't necessarily mean that there was one installed from the factory.It's possible a dealer or a PO installed one since there is a hole for one.
For those heavy 3 pack a day smokersYou could install 3 if you wanted to. One in the dash bezel. One in the ash tray in the dash. And one in the console ash tray.
Thanks for the link to that thread, there is lots of good information in itThe Rally dash thread The Rally dash thread gives good descriptions on the A body 67-71 Rallye Dash lighter locations. The lighter location on the bezel is mentioned in the second post, "a cigarette lighter was added to the right of the cluster. this was bcoz 68 didnt have one in the ash tray due to the unique to 68 lower dash pads". All 68 A bodies had the lighter on the dash. Only 69 and 70 Rallye dashes kept the lighter on the bezel. The 71 Rallye dash went back to the ashtray.
