Default Is your Turn Signal Blinker Really Slow?

Just bought my first F body. When you hit the turn signal it's like a full second delay and then blink..........................blink.............. ..is this normal? A T/A passed me on the interstate and his looked that slow? Can this be changed. Do they make faster blinkers? I don't want one of the hyper fast that look like a strobe light though. Thanks Brandon.

I was wondering about this too, I didn't even think to check my blinker fluid, I changed it like 10,000 blinks ago but maybe it needs to be topped off. Thanks!

Probably the funniest thing I have read in a while, I liked the power band one. Brandon.
