1978 Pontiac Catalina Budget Race Car - Bargain Bin Brawler

Ernie employed the factory column-mounted headlight dimmer switch to supply power to the nitrous fuel pump and all the other nitrous switches. It is wired to the "Fasten Safety Belts" light to show when its engaged. A second headlight dimmer switch was added to the floor to arm the gas-pedal mounted nitrous activation switch, which gets the juice flowing at full throttle. Keppler also added yet another switch on a stretch-cord that bypasses the activation switch to enable him to toggle the nitrous on and off regardless of throttle position during a pass. This feature is needed when running the whitewall radials because traction is sometimes at a premium. View Related Article
