Re: KPack's 1954 Panama

I've only tried the 535 from Napa and it did not work the indicator light as others have also found out and posted in that thread I referenced above. That is the unit I used for the photo showing the flasher with the transistor.

If you do a search there are some 535s sold by other vendors that specifically say a particular flasher is for positive or negative ground but looking at the photos they provided you cannot distinguish by part number. I cannot say if they are separate flashers with correct transistors and the vendor is using a common photo or if their flashers are made without a transistor.

There is a place in Texas that advertises a 6v positive ground electronic flasher which they say works with LEDs or incandescent bulbs or a combination of both. I have never tried their product but it may be a good option. I remember seeing ads for other electronic positive ground units from other vendors so they are not the only game around.https://litezupp.com/Flasher-Electronic-3-Prong-6-Volt-Positive-Ground The only bad part about electronic units could be the typical solid state polarity specific issues. Like solid state radio vibrators, if the flashers are not internally protected then an accidental reversal of the battery could damage them.
