Default Heavy Duty Turn Light Flasher

I have a 1976 Corvette and it has a 3 prong turnlight flasher located in back of the map holder pass side. The replacement one only has two prongs on it, will this work or have I got the wrong flasher . Has anybody replaced theirs with a two prong ? I have the car in the paint shop so I can't test it out until next week and I was just wondering if I should start looking for a three prong replacement?
Thanks
Dario

You have a three prong plug for your signal flasher? Mine is only a two prong and I have a '77. I can't imagine the two would be different. Can you post a pic of the flasher you've replaced?

The socket it fits in only has two contacts. The one you took out is made for some other application.
