Re: Need info : ' 66 Rambler American turn signal pawls in column - GM? Interchange?New?

The Mustang part is different, I've tried! The "HELP!" line of parts quit making the early AMC cam a couple years ago. There is another line someone mentioned in this thread that still has it. If you can't find it there contact American Performance Parts (www.amclives.com), I'm pretty sure they carry them. Four way flashers were first required in some states in 66, though federal regs may be 67. There is an underdash switch in the 66 TSM, and it can be retrofitted in any 58-66 Rambler. These still show up at some AMC swap meets -- a big chrome knob and bezel with a flasher and some wiring attached.
