Turn signal flasher for '56



Tony ,
has your Imp been retro-fitted with a modern  Altenator? if not check the
voltage reg , it might want some attention. Not too-sure about the fuse's on
the 56 but, some cars frome that era did not have a fuse box. My old P.A.
Cresta was the same. Might need a circuit tester on some of the electric's.
Regards
Dave 60 Le Baron.
