1962 544 B18 (12v) Noticed something odd last couple of trips as it got dark and turned lights on. Everything fine until I get up to steady 55-60 mph.
As I’m cruising along (smooth road) I notice lights are flickering - headlights, dash lights, everything - in unison are all doing a random flicker. They stay on but brightness fluctuates. No amp light during this.
As I slow down to about 50mph the flickering stops and the lights are steady and strong.
I tried the obvious of battery cables and fuses, seems fine. I could understand a bad connection or ground affecting one bulb but what would cause all the lights to do this in unison? Any thoughts?
