Pivot switch turn signal, wiper
My turn signal is broken. Doesn't work for right hand turn. I've been told that it's the pivot switch. The switch was used on the 90 to 96. Can't find a replacement. Is there any other switch that can be modified to use as replacement?

I would guess they meant this: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...al+switch,4832
There is nothing called a "pivot switch" though the switch above does pivot. There is nothing in your steering column that isn't in a million other Chevys.

OP - Year matters! '90 through '96 columns have similarities but you can't just assume 'same'! There's no point to a discussion until year is documented!

Here is a link to the Directional Pivot Plate that covers a vast number of years, But I believe its part of the whole switch assembly and as WVZR-1 pointed out years matter at that point. Now my car too had a similar but not as bad problem and all it was a loose screw on the Directional plate, but to get to the screw requires pulling the wheel and Steering wheel lock plate parts to get to the plate and there is a tool needed to compress the plate spring so retainer is easily removed and replaced. lock plate tool is available at most chain parts stores or rent a centers if you just want to buy it.

Some seem to enjoy WAG .. I don't but I might as well also! 
If the car is a '93 or earlier this could be an interesting read. It ain't in millions of Chevys either. If the car were a '94+ similar only (different part fabrication) operation but again it ain't in millions of other Chevys.
