This probably too obvious, but if the front AND rear blinkers don't work on the driver's side, the common wire on the flasher unit may be loose or need to be reconnected. As Don advises, be sure both ends, front and rear, are well grounded. If just the rear or the front is working, it could be the other end needs a new bulb or the socket needs a good cleaning to make contact with the bulb.

I would just add the pipe extension.

Yesterday I watched a Chasing Classic Cars. Wayne brought a '54 Studebaker Commander Starliner to Pebble Beach as an all original car preservation class car. Before the show they gave it some prep and when they ran the engine it smoked. It had been sitting for years. It only had a few thousand miles on it. They drove it, the smoke got worse, then subsided completely. They concluded it was carbon that needed to burn out.
