68gmccustom-I'll try to get a light and see what my total timing is this week, thanks for helping

copper will try to get pictures someday..lol, how many what did i have?

No real updates, tightened a wiper switch up today, hoooked some heater cables up 1 is kinked (longest one).

Finally mustered up the guts to push my emergency flashers THEY WORK! But the switch is broken off and the column so I had to dig it back out, I found a black round replacement in one of my catalogs, but it doenstn look like my red one in my 68. I want it to be semi original looking

Where can I get it and whats involved swapping it out?

Also have a carb I got froma friend im trying to trade for some rear drop springs or maybe a tach printed circuit or tach lense...?

How many people'd ya take to prom in it? ~was my question.

Hazard switch may take a lil time (hour or two unless you're a pro like me ), but relatively easy. Find ya a replacement knob, probably junk yard unless someone on here knows who sells them new. Gonna have to pull your steering wheel and the one in the yard unless they'll do it for ya. If you've never done it, it's easy just get a puller from your local parts store or make one (a heavy plate threaded in the middle with some holes drilled into it, or weld a nut into it, and you need a few bolts). Take your wheel off. Remove the big nut first, then use your puller. Then remove three screws in the horn button plate. BTW might be a good idea to disconnect your battery before this cause I've learned the hard way about shorting it out, scarring the $%!* outta myself, and disturbing the neighbors! After you remove that then I think you'll be able to see your hazard knob and turn signal lever. they both remove with a phillips head screw driver. Replace with new one and reinstall everything. Before tightening the wheel down with the nut, check and make sure everything works correctly.
WHEW! I think I've got all that right, but that's the basics behind it anyway. Hope that helps pal. Also when you got the wheel off, never a better time to replace the turn signal cam if it doesn't hold correctly and repaint your steering wheel if it needs it.
