Bob,
When I was restoring my 72 the rear lights did not work very well. I
posted a query and the answer was the ground in the sockets could be
suspect. The real problem is the original socket assemblies were poorly
made. Anyway, I finally fixed the problem by grounding every socket
individually and no problems since.
There used to be a replacement for the original sockets but it NLA.
