Looking for a resource to replace my broken headlight switch off of a 1983 cmc speedster.
Also, need information on wiring diagram for the electrical system.

CMC used cheap low amp universal headlight switches . "Speedway" sells a 30A universal switch that will work or you can buy a cheaper one but will need to run a relay. If, the PO used the CMC harness, the diagram is here in the SOC files but your harness may have been heavily modified as that harness was a mess out of the box. Best to sort out a single circuit at a time. When I resto a CMC my big scissors is the tool of choice to have a clean start using a Vintage Motorcars harness.
Can you please post a link to that switch? I can find it on their website. Thanks.

Looks like Speedway no longer sell that switch but here's a link to the same one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unive...2:g:z2oAAOSwwAdbDuwC
I just located a headlight switch at PepBoys that is a three pull switch. It worked great on my CMC speedster. Easy hookup using the diagram on the switch package. My only complaint is the knob that come with it. It is plastic and rather cheap. The switch was around seven dollars

Keep a check on it , may run hot w/o a reply
Will do.
thanks
I used the 4 position switch from Painless that lets you put the high beam on the dash so you don't need the floor dimmer.
Thank you
