jim

the flasher you want to change is under the front dash pad on the PASS side.
should be clipped bottom side by the kick panel.

the one in the fuse block is for the four way.

Re: 1970 Turn Signals not working

I decided to go check under the passenger side map pocket and found another flasher relay (light blue - TUNG-SOL 224 FLASHER) with a capacitor piggybacked onto the leads. The capacitor has 47 MFD 100 VDF stamped on it. Where is a good place to buy a replacement? Should the capacitor also be replaced? thanks

Re: 1970 Turn Signals not working

you can pickup the 224 flasher off eBay new. finding one dated - whole other issue.

the capacitor very rarely goes bad. i am pretty sure it was for noise reduction in the radio. you can plug the new flasher in w/o the capacitor and it works just fine.
I think the repro houses have it for sale as a reproduction part. it runs somewhere around 40-50 $$$
If you want to get creative - gut the inside of it out and reattach the ends. then it will look stock etc...

Jim - I think Tung-Sol is now Wagner & Wagner makes a blue plastic 224. Most of the Auto Parts places should have a new 224 flasher or a suitable replacement & it won't cost very much. Get one & plug it in to see if it fixes the problem, then you go & find a NOS Tung-Sol flasher. Pete

I had a problem on my 70 with the turn signals. It was the connector for the steering column.
