...So for 1973 and earlier, the light came on when the trunk was opened. From
1974 -
76, you had to have the headlight switch on for the light to work. It makes
no sense to me but that's how it was done.

I suppose one might make the argument that is seems somewhat pointless to have
a trunk light in daylight,
i.e., when you wouldn't need lights anywhere. But given the BLMC corporate
bean-counter policies of the
time, perhaps some accountant determined that several pence per vehicle might
be saved by NOT running that extra
dedicated purple wire all the way back to the boot? ;-)

Herald engine with wings.
