Hi, The 65 Dart Wagon needs a turn signal cam I think. The signals work fine, they just don't turn off after a turn. I have to push the switch arm to the center all the time, and if I do not get it just right the signal will be on but close enough to center that the indicator on the dash does not blink. If I am at a stop I can hear it clicking on and off, but what a pain. I look like a little old man in his station wagon who doesn't know his signal is still on (this is what I am, but that is not the point!)

Where do I get the part I need and how do I put it in?
 

I've a new replacement turn signal cam for $12.00 plus the UPS ride. The installation is fairly straightforward. Remove the wheel and turn signal arm. Carefully pry off the old cam without disturbing the electrical contacts underneath. Sometimes it's easier to tap the metal shaft down to break it loose. Then remove the 3 switch mounting screws and retainer plate. Carefully pull the switch up and free from the bowl. There again, do not let the electrical contacts come loose or you'll have fun getting everything back in place. Position the new cam in place and press it onto the shaft and squeeze it down flush. I use a C clamp when the switch is still in the car or a vise if it's out. Check to see if the switch works and then do everything else in reverse and you're back in business.
Thanks, Mark
