That is because you used the pink top valve stem covers and everyone knows they are rated at a higher PSI than standard. These in turn are applying more pressure on your flux capacitor and shorting out your blinkers. Only use genuine GM Parts

Before you go through all that....flush and re-fill your blinker fluid

Did you rotate the air front to back or side to side . Right side air must remain on the right side of the vehicle or it will impact directional functions.

Actually, it's all related to the muffler bearings. Those were bad in the first place. Don't you have a FSM!?!?!

The air in my tires rotate automatically when in forward or reverse. I have not noticed any effect on my blinkers.

I think it's time to replace the hydrosolator. That damn thing makes my car run funny all the time. One morning it started itself and was running in circles. I bought two, and saved some money for next time.

I think you belong on the British Car Forum. That sounds like a Lucas problem to me.

You might want to get a exhaust sample and send it to the nearest GM dealer in your area. You might be low on headlight juice.
