    That doesn't sound good. Old 65 - 82 Corvettes have problems with excessive runout in rear rotors that have been replaced and not trued up. The rotors cause the pistons to work back and forth and...

    The panel light rheostat is notoriously a (bad word). I recommend that you just connect both connections to the same terminal, since the ability to dim the dash lights is not used very often.

    I like the painted wheels. What size tires did you use? This combo looks good.
