    Hello,

    I recently purchased a 1970 Skylark and have been unable to figure out what this button on the driver side floor is. I also tried an online search without any results, the previous seller did not have a manual as well.

    From the 65 manual. Now your left foot has something to do!

    I like the fact that if you dont know, ask. I mean even Jason gets stumped by a wire in the engine compartment. There are no dumb questions!

    Being at the age of 40 years old, I recall using a rotary phone but the oldest vehicle I’ve owned at this point was an 1989 blazer where the high beams were within arms reach. Looks like I’ll be purchasing that owners manual sooner than later, thank you for the answer.

    Ya but they did it with kindness, unlike what you would see on Facebook.

    I remember once being told to fill up the gas tank on a 57 Chevy and not being able to find the gas cap. I had no idea it was under the chrome on the rear fin.

    The guys got a good laugh while I was going around the car looking for it.
