Re: IML: silent directional signals on my 1968 crown convert

[<pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I gotta have a click!   I have two lesser cars that I drive frequently, one 
with a loud click and one without any at all.  Neither has hood markers.  I 
have a peeve about people driving around with their flashers on, yet as I've 
improved with age I catch myself doing it more and more frequently in my 
newer, quieter car.  The signals on my '69 Buick click like rocks dropping 
on ice, and even with the top open, radio on and my crumming singing along, 
I can usually hear them!
