Red Light on Speedometer

[pink440]

I own a 1970 Challenger RT SE.  I have not had it long enough to purchase an old owners manual yet.  I was driving it this weekend and noticed that a small red light showed up on my speedometer.  The red light is located between 70 and 80 mph numbers on the speedo.  What does it mean?  Also - where should I buy a manual?

Thanks!

  You haven't owned enough vintage tin. Every car I ever saw before 1980 had red as the high beam indicator

 You got me to thinkin, and to me this is hilarious, but in '77 I bought a '73 Duster 340 that had a wiring meltdown under the dash. One of the issues was the RED high beam indicator was melted. I found a piece of clear plastic & colored it with Magic Marker, maybe the only one I had, in BLUE. I thought it was COOL and of course "original". Maybe I'm responsible for the blue light?? Of course thats just an old mans memory at work.

pink440,
  You've been driving with your hi-beams on. I'm glad I wasn't coming the other way.

Welcome, pink.  You can also find owners manuals on eBay, both new and used ones.
