Think that flat steel piece you found is spring steel and keeps tension on the cam to help it click firmly . However I'm going through the same crap with my dart . My repo cam has those posts on it and my factory one did not. But my factor one was half shattered and laying in the column.
got my 67 belvedere from a guy who got it as a project for his kids !! they thought they were john force mashed the rear brake line with a hammer destryed a bunch of hi dollar parts burnout marks everywhere destroying all the internal parts of the drums with parts clanging around inside em i asked specifically are the brakes good ? ohh yeah great !! well they werent ! I drove it home hit the brakes the front marker lights would come on ! turn the directoional to go left it works fine go right the right on front works but both the taillights flash like i put 4 ways on ! i pulled everything there is to pull not sure cause ive seen 3 different diagrams for the same car none look like this wiring replaced everything there is to replace literally spent about 3-4000 in parts ! short of all the wires which im replacing next and if i do im reworking everything general motors style cause this really sucks cause its still doing the same thing ! replaced headlight switch brake switch hazzard flasher directional flasher directional switch!!bulbs , sockets , regrounded everything new fuses weither it needed em or not ! ive never in my 30-35 years of restoring and working on cars and custom choppers building everything from street cars to top fuel cars running 3:80s @ 320mph ever seen such horrible electrical issues as mopar creates ! if it was a 70 chevelle id have the whole car rewired up and working by now !
Vondre Bridges I actually purchased 3 switches and one cancel piece. I ruined the the first switch installing the cancel arm. the wireing of the new cancel arm(just 2 wires) didnt work for some reason. So I installed my second switch. The third switch I saved for the backup. Yes, I got the cancel arm at Classic Industries. Good luck if you are doing the same thing.
Campbase thanks for replying, I have a 1968 roadrunner I’m working on and the turn signal switch won’t stay in position unless you hold it there and after watching your video I’m kinda scared of doing it myself...did you ever get the piece fixed? And what exactly was your problem in the first place?
You were way more in depth than I was! This is a great resource. I am adding to the helpful videos playlist on my channel!
Lots of good info here. Starting on repairing the turn signal on my 66 Coronet. Have a spare turn signal from a parts car. Thanks!
Wish you luck. I have done everything on my GTX and the blinker was the hardest so far.
actually very helpful...Thanks for sharing!!!
