Turn signal switch question

Ok, I'm getting ready to tackle the body work and interior. Just getting my parts first. Is there any way to make my turn signal turn off after turning other than remembering to reach over a switch it. I didn't know if there was another switch or a modification that I could make. Maybe mine is just broken, but I don't think so. my 1970 nor my '72 automatically turns off. Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Greg

That switch should have a cancelling device so,it must be broken off.

yes yours is broken. My '72 cancels whenI turn left but, not when I turn right. My cousins '67 cancels, grandfathers '69 cancels.

Greg, You need the switch cam, about $10.00 and I think available in the help section. Oh BTW check the Online Store and help ol Ken out.

I had a cancelling problem, so I went right out and pulled a new cam. Then I found before I put it in that by pushing on the steering wheel, the one I had cancelled.

You might try this before you attribute your problem to a broken cam. You can then loosen the column drop clamp and the clamp on the firewall and wiggle the column sleeve in toward the wheel - that fixed it for me.
