IN SEARCH OF BRIGHTER TURN SIGNALS FOR A ’54 CORVETTE
Q. I own a 1954 Corvette. Do you know of an LED replacement bulb for the 6V 1154 bulb that is compatible with the stock turn signal flasher? If there’s an LED bulb available that isn’t compatible with the stock turn signal flasher, is there a signal flasher or add-on circuit that will work in this application?
A. According to Chris Bacon of Classic Auto Bulbs in Higley, Arizona, a 60 LED Bay15D bulb will work. You can find one at
classicautobulbs.com/6volt.html. Bacon cautions, however, that “with many flash- ers, LED bulbs will cause the turn signals to flash rapidly or not flash at all. If using LED bulbs for turn signals, you may need to add load equalizers.” Bacon says Classic Auto Bulbs may also have a combination LED/ OEM bulb flasher that fits your vehicle. Email him at
superlumination@cox.net. For information about load equalizers, try

A. Peter Smith, National Tech Chairman for the Porsche Club of America, advises that jack stands should be placed at the rear jack points, located just in front of each rear wheel, and under the frame rail beneath the side foot area. Begin by jacking up one side

of the car using the front jack point. Ten put jack stands at the rear jack point and under the foot area just inside the front jack point. Repeat the procedure on the other side.
Q. I recently purchased a 1904 Nash Rambler. Do you know of a restoration shop that specializes in cars of this era, preferably one in the Chicago-Milwaukee area?
