Is there a flasher near the fuse box on a 76? If so does anyone know what type.
Thanks

Do you have your owners manual it should list its part number? GM part number 491391 or LF224

It's just a basic "round can" style flasher. Available at all car parts stores. Pull it. Take it to your favorite car parts store. Show it to the pimple faced kid behind the counter and ask him if he has one of these.

And then he will ask if it is for a 2-door or 4-door. V8 or 6. Automatic or manual shift. Then he will tell you he can order and have by noon tomorrow.

And spend $25 to buy a Haynes Manual for installation instructions. Here's an excerpt:

(1) Disconnect battery
(2) Remove defective flash unit
(3) Install new flash unit
(4) Reconnect battery

I've found the Haynes manuals to be pretty much useless. They are really tough on disconnecting/reconnecting the battery.
