Somehow my blinkers are confused - as am I
Fronts blink fine (left = left, right = right) but somehow the rear indicators are resisting this logic as in left = right and right = left.
Any idea which wire I have maybe transposed - can't see it from the wiring diagram.
Thanks.
You can't really mess it up at the back. Did you take the wires out of the plug at the firewall for any reason?

According to the 69-70 schematic there are bullet connectors to the body loom.
Perhaps double check that they are correct?

If it is a 70 with the modular plug you can't plug the lights in wrong in back. Even with the bullet connectors you can't reverse sides. You can mix up stop and turn filament with the tail.
There are two plugs at the firewall. A 2 pin and a 3 pin. The 3 pin has the lights.

On further consideration and knowing i didn't touch the back (and as Curtis pointed out - you can't mess them up anyway ) I 'cleaned' the plug at the ignitionswitch - therein probably lies the problem - should be fun to sort out - thought I had been careful - but most likely not - will advise when fixed.

Rainy days and boredom are leading me to install my comp oil pan... Question: I purchased the blue “competition†gasket for it a while back - would that be a “dry†gasket I assume? I’m thinking it was designed as such because racers would be apt to reuse it over and over, but I may be wrong...again.
see two posts below ...

I glued mine with contact cement to the block, then a dose of white lithium grease to the pan side.
A roadster Yoda gave this tip which allows for a reusable pan gasket. of course this is not so easy with the engine installed ....
I guess you could use pan bolts and washers to hold the gasket to the block while the contact cement dries.

I disconnected the five(?)of 6 connector that goes into the ignition to clean etc. Thought that I had 'carefully' marked a=a etc. but presumably I made a mistake.
Busy this afternoon, but with again studying your amazing blown up diagram, will find out which is left and which is right. That area is the only one I KNOW that is messed with. Logically that is where it is (for now). Will pursue -
thanks for interest - will report. <g>
