Turn signal lever
I own a 75 stingray. I'm told by my local dealer that I need a turn signal lever that "push-snaps" in, not screws in, or is attached by a screw. I cannot find this lever anywhere. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

The 75-76 turn signal lever was held in place by a screw that passed through it into the switch. You'll have to take the top of the column apart to install the lever.

Points of Information:
1969-1976 Corvette Standard (non-adjustable) steering column. Turn signal lever held in place by a screw that attaches directly to the turn signal switch. You will need to remove the steering wheel and hub. There is a hole in the locking plate that allows you to reach the screw without further disassembly.
1969-1976 Corvette Tilt & Telescoping steering column. There is a post connected to the turn signal switch that extends below the switch itself. The post has a tapped hole for the turn signal lever to screw into. No disassembly of the column is required.
1977-1982 Corvette Standard (non-adjustable) steering column and the Tilt & Telescoping steering column. The turn signal lever "plugs into" a dimmer pivot mechanism. There is a crossover arm that connects the dimmer pivot to the turn signal switch. The crossover arm is held in place by a screw that attaches directly to the turn signal switch.

All of the major Corvette suppliers carry the turn signal switch for a 1969 through 1976 Corvette. There is one for the standard (non-adjustable) column and one for the T&T column. It is not the easiest procedure to replace the switch. I have complete instructions that are covered in my 1969-82 Tilt & Telescoping Column Disassembly & Repair papers #1 and #2.
