[T3] Turn Signals/Turn Signals '71 Fasty

[John Hilgers <hilgersenterprises@yahoo.com>]

     Let me give you a little background.  This '71
Fasty has 79K original unmolested miles on it.  The
vehicle has the original spare tire, original
interior, original engine.  As far as I can tell the
following are also original: Brakes, Clutch, Coil,
etc.  The only things that have been changed are: 
Tires, Generator belt, distributor cap, most rubber
for doors, front and rear glass, etc.  This car is
"the bomb"!  Everything works, including the buzzer if
you leave your keys in the ignition.  I am the 4th
owner.  The last 3 (including myself) have been since
1999.  The original owner bought the car in Knoxville,
TN and had all the work done at the dealership.  I
have the original bill of sale and all the stamped
records from the dealership.  The second owner popped
out all the glass, chrome, etc. had the car repainted.
 Then he showed the car.  The 3rd owner bought the car
2 years ago at a show for his wife, she drove one in
high school.  When he brought it home for her, she
said, "that nice dear" and never drove the car. He
drove the car about 200 miles in two years, it just
sat in his garage.  This 3rd owner had a '63 Corvette
restored for him.  When the Vette was done, he needed
the space in the garage, so he sold the Fasty.  It was
just dumb luck that I found the vehicle. (The reason I
am telling you all this is so when I ask questions in
the future you know that I am dealing with a stock
car).  The Fasty is a 2 on the standard scale and with
a little work could be a 1.  However, that is not my
intention.  I just think its a lot of fun to drive!
     I have a little experience working on vehicles
from my youth.  That was mostly muscle cars and a '80
Datsun.  I did all the work replacing brakes, exhaust,
clutches etc.  I never did electrical though.  To me
that is the hardest part of any automobile, the
electrical.
     Yes, I do have a Bentley.  Yes, I have checked
all of the fuses.  No, I have not felt behind the dash
to see if it has come loose.  Common sense tells me
that it has just gone out with age.  Before it went
totally out, when you pulled the emergency flasher, it
did turn on the indicator lights on the dash.  It just
would not "blink".  I will check behind the dash on
Friday afternoon.  I do not have anyway of checking if
any voltage is going through each of the parts. 
However, I do intend this Fasty to be my daily driver,
so it is not a bad idea to start replacing parts.  Any
leads on good quality parts at a fair price would be
greatly appreciated.
      Thanks for reading.  John
