I thought of that, but I installed the flasher inside the car, above the drivers side kick panel.  Instead on firewall because I wanted to hear the clicking.  It is hard to find a good 3 prong 6 volt flasher.  The third flasher I tried also had the loud click clock sound.  With that and the flashing green light on the lever, I should see it still on.

I strongly considered what Corsair Deluxe suggested, using the amp and oil lights.

I just jumped on this it is a complete Guide 6004 NOS KIT. The J used the 6004, but with a different handle. It had an ivory tip. I'm deep in brake issues now Do not know when I'll get around to this. I need both rear brake backing plates in good shape. Mine are a mess.

Yes, I will use the 1n4007 diodes to turn the amp and oil pressure lights into turn light indicators with out interfering with their normal function. They cost about 4 cents apiece on ebay.

Corsairdeluxe,
So the diode simply taps between the turn signal wire going to the front and into the wArning lamp wire?

Yep the left signal to the generator light(the diode is placed between the light and the regulator) and the right to the oil pressure light.

Big Dave, can you supply the manufacturer & part number of the 6v heavy duty flashers, so I can keep an eye out for one at the swap meets?

The NAPA part number for the 6 volt flasher is NAPA 535. The Heavy Duty one is HD Flasher 535 but I don't know where you can get one. It's a green and yellow box.

I think Fid just answered your question.  I bought one on Ebay, and it is no good.  I had two flashers from a old box of parts.  Luckily, the third one, worked great.  It has no writing on it, so can't tell you a brand.
