1960 turn signal cancel cam



More likely problem would be the canceling switch itself going bad. If you can see the linkage moving the switch on the lower column, most likely the switch is bad. I changed the one on one of my 60's. These seem to come up for sale on ebay frequently.

I'm sure I can figure out how it works.  I just wanted to make sure there
was something there to fix.

Thanks again!
