What was the issue with your turn signals? Switch or flasher?

It was the flasher. The fuse was corroded also and was not making a good connection. Cleaned that up and signals started working right. Then a couple of days later the brake lights quit. On them i found that the brake light switch was not working every time. I guess 42 years of southern humidity have worked their wonders on the contacts. At the moment all tail lights are working. I even put the new lenses which came wrapped in news paper laying in the floor of the bronco when I bought it in.

The plastic bushing in the pedal goes bad too and creates a lot of slop sometimes preventing actuation of an older switch

Speaking of bushings. The bushings which go in the z bar for the clutch linkage? I used to be able to find them at parts houses. Does anyone know where I can find them now. The one where one end is on the frame and the other is on the engine block.

Got and thanks for the quick reply. I am trying to get everything collected up that I may want or need to replace when I do the 435 install. Which I hope is very soon nos as the weather has cooled some.

Got one on the way as of a few minutes ago.

I haven't seen my bronco in a week and it feels GREAT!

It will be another week before I see it again and that feels even better!

Little bit of love and a whole lot of hate.
