    today while advancing my timing in my van I bumped my turn signal lever and heard a snap and now my turn signal is stuck on :/ can anyone tell me how to get my horn ring off so I can take my steering column apart? Thanks

    Push it in and twist it. If you do it fast enough you won't even upset the neighbors!

    Thankyou, I'm having my wife pick up a steering wheel pulled as we speak. Is it pretty messy inside or a straight forward operation? Did these vans ever have self canceling turn signals?

    It's pretty straightforward under there. Your turn signal cancelling cam is probably broken. I had to mail order mine from Macs. Also, '67 is different from '61-'66.

    Thanks for the tip, it's so loud in my van without the insulation that when my turn signals don't cancel themselves I can't hear the clicking and end up looking like an idiot for 10miles untill I notice to turn them off.

    no parts places carry the unit so I'm going to be a cheap bastard and super glue the cam back together to make it through the weekend. Then head to a junkyard when I get home from my camping trip. I've got it working again now let's hope another signal doesn't get stuck for two days.
