Hooking up the Signal-Stat turn signal switch

[Sam Buchanan]

Instead of simple butt connectors to wire the turn signal switch into the P15, I mounted terminal strips on the steering column so connections could be quickly modified if necessary.

The single filament light sockets were modified to dual filament with these commonly used adapters:

 

 

The Plymouth now has three brake lights, one in each taillight and the original light on the trunk lid.
