Bad ground?

[toolmanmike]

My right front parking light is dim and the turn indicator in the dash glows. Bad ground? tmm

Yep, Chassis ground fault at that right front fixture. If you have a plastic grille the bulb socket needs a ground path via a wire. If everything is metal the fault could be the socket loose in the cast housing.

If the ground wire does not have an external tooth washer on it,
put one on there, as they bite into the metal as there tightened. Also
make sure the thread's to the bolt are clean too. Hope this help's.

I had that same thing on my 67 & 69 B-Cudas, I soldered a wire onto the bulb socket and ran it to a ground. now i have nice blinkers in both cars.

The 67 has a bulb socket crimped into a pot metal housing. Our first 67 notch, Someone had been into the right fixture and melted 3 dollars worth or 1/4 pound of solder around that socket trying to bond the ground path. All they had done was make a mess.
One tiny little hole drilled through the crimp and a sheet metal screw added cured it ,
forever and ever amen.
