I just noticed my 73 does not have a the capability of adjusting the dash light brightness. Is that correct? It just struck me as odd when my 67 Mustang has the capability? Can you swap the switch to a later one?

as far as I know, the non-adjustable light switch was standard in pintos from 71-73 or 74. My 73 is non-adjustable, but the 75 wagon at the junk yard has an adjustable one.

As far as adjustable switches being an option, I dunno. I guess ford thought the non-adjustable switch was another way to keep the cost under $2000 in 71 and ran with it. Either way, it doesn't bother me too much as I usualy keep them as bright as they'll go anyways. My only problem with the 73 is they aren't bright enough.
