Default 1971 Corvette blinkers

Replaced blinker light switch when it went bad. Replaced the flasher with Novita 522 which napa told me was the replacement . Blinkers blink faster than normal, any idea.

Ask NAPA if they have a slower flasher.

How fast is it blinking?
The flashers are driven by load. The more load, the faster they will blink. You may have seen this when you hook up a trailer and plug in the harness, your turn signals will blink faster.
Is your car all original or do you have anything added to the system?
