Can't figure out what a knob on the dashboard of my late '69 6.3 is.
The red knob is the hazards. The white knob is the rear window defroster.
What the devil's the green knob?

The guesses so far, from the M100 people, is that the green know is either:
--to switch from city horns to country horns
--to activate the rear fog light
Any other ideas what this was for?

George,
While I have had the not-so-pleasureable pleasure of working on many a 6.3, I seem to recall that the switch is indeed for the horns. Don't quote me on that though. Your best bet would be to ask Neil Dubey at Star Motors. He knows thses cars inside and out and would be the guy to tell you for sure. His e-mail is n300sel63@aol.com if you wanna try him.
