Default Turn Signal Question

I just bought my 1st F-Body 97 ws-6 and the left turn signal dosn't work. I have check all of the bulbs in the tail lamps and change the ons that need to be changed. I also found that my right signal is VERY SLOW there is at least 2 sec. pause in between each pulse, is there a flasher that could be bad? Any help would be great.

Now one more question....... Is there a way to change from my LT1 tail lights to LS1 tail lights? Let me know thanks guys.

Has a .30 over forged bottom end with the baby Comp cam and the Edelbrock shorties w/ cat-back. Stock tranny A4 and stock rear end. I need gears and a built tranny

If all your bulbs are fine, my guess would be wires or get new bulb housings. If it was your flasher, then both turn signals would not work. As far as your two second delay, do you have an upgraded stereo system? They usually cause excessive drain on your alternator (when in idle) unless you have a pulley system that works around it.

You can easily change LT1/LS1 taillights. Just put the LS1 taillights in like you would put in an LT1 taillight.

It is most likely your turn signal socket (where the bulb plugs into). I had a bad one for my right front blinker and it would throw the whole blinker system off. I had to get it from GM because none of the ones from local auto part stores would fit, even though it was supposed to. Replaced it now the blinker system works perfect for both left and right.
