The heater blower switch also turns over the engine when it's turned to hi! I unplugged the blower motor for now. Something crazy is going on here.
The fuse between the ignition switch and flasher was bad. Replaced the fuse and added a new flasher and have right turn signals now. Left front...
A new flasher didn't change anything. I cleaned the grounds and checked bulbs too. I would like to unplug the turn signal switch wires from the...
I ordered a 2 prong flasher but it has different connectors than the original. I'll test it temporarily and see what happens and start cleaning...

Thanks John and thanks for the help rounding up a pair of axles after my friend broke 1 and twisted the other on the first pass Saturday. I will...
Seriously! Stop in the shop on your break or at lunch or anytime.
The fastest time for this car from the early 60s was a 13.98 so it may still be right in there. I'm not far from Havana so I will try to make it...
I wound up with lucky number 13 for the Meltdown. I've been working the suspension and going to try these balljoint spacers. I'll be looking to...

I just replied to you in the Jr Stock thread. I think Forest sold the car to a guy named Jason. I believe he was forced to sell it because of a...
