Phil,
What else do you need to hook up this flasher? Always bothered me that the car does not have flashers. I was spoiled because my first Cobra had them. They saved me one night when the fuse on my headlights decided to blow. Drove home with a flashlight(friend was holding it shining on the shoulder so i would not go off the road). Also, when I first got the car, the fuel gage wax off and I ran out of gas. Godsend when you are stuck on the side of the road, especially in such a small car that could be hard to see!
I remember seeing/posting to a thread about how to put flashers in, I think it was Patrick's, it was involved and scared me because I hate electric in cars. Definitely not my strong point.

You might consider ditching your ammeter if it does not function properly. You can bypass it safely from the engine side of the firewall if you're hesitant about crawling up behind the dashboard and yanking out the ammeter wires.
