    The previous owner took out all the screws to the turn signal cam. Anyone know what screws I can use to replace them? I don't want to buy a new cam until I can secure this one and verify if it's bad. Do replacement units come with screws?

    Here's a pic. There's 3 screws for the turn signal and 1 for the ignition buzzer.

    I have never seen the screws come with new switch. If memory serves they are a machine thread shoulder screw in the swith and a sheet metal screw for the buzzer. They are all the same in many models through the 60's, 70's and 80's. My best advice is to go to your local bone yard and see what you can find, shouldn't be to hard. Good luck

    Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get a thread size and just get some from the local hardware store. For me the nearest boneyard is about 20 mi and not many older cars to pick from. That's SoCal...:huh:
