Thanks so much for this @Mattax ! When it comes to electrical I pretty much get brain freeze. I was under the impression that the red wire sent power TO the flasher when actuated to complete the circuit. Makes so much more sense that the power is coming FROM the flasher via red wire and gives...

Took me all summer to get to it but I just replaced the turn signal switch in the steering wheel. @67Dart273 you had said potentially something crazy could be going on in the switch. Well two wires (red and white) had insulation cracked off at the same spot (see pic). Even if the signal wasn't...

Absolutely sure of it. The fist time it happened I felt the flasher "click" without the signal engaged. Literally could see the mechanism move and feel the vibration in my hand. The hazards work fine and continue to work fine after all this.

When it popped I was cruising at about 30 mph without the turn signal actuated. Since I've owned the car the radio has never worked and don't believe it's connected. The part that was odd is that the car hesitated and almost stalled for about three seconds after the pop, like there wasn't...

I spoke too soon. I was driving along nicely, heard a pop, and the car almost stalled. The clicking sound came back despite not engaging the blinkers. I managed to pull into a lot hoping the damn thing wasn't going to catch fire and she started running smooth again. Obviously the flasher is...

Thanks for the help y'all. You were right with the flasher. My stupidity led me to believe its only function was to make the click sound. Not so! A simple glance at the wiring diagram should have made that obvious but like I said... stupidity on my part.

Hello Again Forum, I tied searching the site and while I find similar problems as mine I can't find an identical problem/solution. I was driving and used my turn signal. I realized the green signal light wasn't lighting so I tried the other direction and noticed it wasn't either. I placed the...

Final Report! Just picked her up from the alignment shop. Went with Firm Feel tubular uppers and got her aligned. They dialed caster in around +2.5 Deg and 1/2 Deg neg camber. I can not tell you what a world of difference it made. I went from being scared to drive it to weaving in and out of...

I gave them away to a member in the classifieds to get them out of my garage so I'll never have to see them again :thumbsup: Somebody else's problem now! Have me a set of Firm Feel tubulars on the way. Hate getting away from the OEM appearance but if it means it handles better and is better...

Have driver and passenger upper control arms from 73+ A body. I personally couldn't get the old bushings out but I don't have a press. Seem to be seized in the arm. Ball joints are a year old and less than 200 miles on them. Would be happy to give them away before I scrap. In DFW area for...

Once again @72bluNblue you've been an amazing help with this. You're right about pulling the wrong way by the way. Lol. I did try the other and they are completely seized. Even held the torch to get the control arm red hot and no luck getting them out. I swear that's the only rust on the...

I was going the correct way. I flipped the tool to the other side of the control arm. Inside of the arm towards the outside. As you can see in these pics the damn things are just seized in there. Y'all have been giving great advice BUT since I'm replacing the UCA's now, if I buy tubular...

If I can't get it to budge with the puller even with heat. Hack saw, torch, pliers... those old ones are welded on the control arm with rust. Gave it a shot! Passenger side removal tomorrow then time for new UCA's.

Was going great now I'm stuck. Where my fingers are in the pic... is that part of the control arm or the old bushing rusted in? Can't get the new bushings in so I assume this is the old one? If so any advice how to remove. I've already blasted with penetrating oil. Thanks y'all!

@72bluNblu , thanks for putting that all together. Now I feel obligated to give it a whirl your way! I don't have a press and was dreading getting the old bushings out but with that homemade tool I'm for sure more confident, especially since I can just turn the UCA around on the ball joint and...
