Mexicowander's new toy
I'll have to let him explain what the heck it does, features, ratings, amps, Volts, etc. Probably BORG power supply related is my guess.

Grumpy exactly when did they replace the Sheep Grease (lanolin) with ninety weight gear oil? What a rook! Ain't nuthin better than pork grease mixed with sheep grease. Lacquer thinner? Modernist! Mineral spirits lasts longer. Use with 0000 steel wool to put a polish on the flivver that'll knock their eyes out!
And remember, ****** the spark lever BEFORE getting out. Beats getting hurled up over the hood.
In truth, if you use mineral spirits it becomes a completly different formula that was used in muffler bearings and bushings, found in early exotic sports cars like the English Ford Cortina, Honda 600's, and early Honda 50 Mopeds.
The blinker switch was very reliable. The blinker wires each, seperately, connected to an individual terminal in the switch. The shaft connected to a small pump with an intrigal fluid resivior. Lines then ran to each blinker for fluid supply. The faster the blinker blinked, the more fluid was pumped to it.
The main reason they were discontinued was when cars began to be equipped with the 4-way emergency blinkers. When they were used, the switch couldn't decide which blinkers needed the most fluid, and shut down.
By the time a suitable replacement was invented, it had been replaced by a tranducer operated switch that was vacume operated.

I forgot to mention, their still available through Yugo Warranty Parts.com. When they stopped being used here, the entire supply was sold to Yugo Inc.
