73 with dashboard lighting problems
My 73 has no dashboard and driver's side floor lighting. Where can I find the fuse panel? I just got the car as a Father's Day gift from my kids. I owned a 66 and a 77 years ago, so I'm just getting back into the Vette world. Would appreciate any help.

You can order from any of the vendor/sponsor sites. For $10 you can get a new reprint of an owners manual and I think under $20 you can buy an assembly manual (AIM). Corvette America, Zip, Corvette Central, Ecklers, etc has them.

Driver side door light is a different circuit than the dash lights. If the passenger side floor light works you may just need a bulb. Dash light fuse is a short one in the middle of the fuse block at the bottom.
One thing that you might try before bending yourself into a pretzel to get to the fuses is twisting the headlight **** left and right. That is waht controls the gauge bulb brightness. Do it in a poorly lighted area because even in the best conditions the dash lights are not very bright.
