[DeTomaso] Very Early Pantera Turn Signal Flasher Conversion

Very early Panteras used a Bosch turn signal flasher module with four
wires which has become unobtainable.
The wiring to the Bosch module can be easily moved over to activate a
three wire standard turn signal flasher. However, the three wire standard turn
signal flasher will not support flashing the turn signal indicator lamp in
the Pantera tach. If you are not concerned with the lack of a flashing
indicator you can implement the conversion shown in the electrical diagram at:

If you want to preserve the flashing turn signal indicator function, a
standard ISO automotive relay must added to the to three wire flasher circuit.
This relay requires the addition of three wires. The relay maybe added
after the three wire flasher conversion is implemented to make the conversion
simpler. The diagram for this complete conversion is at:

I have not personally implemented these changes as I have a late Pantera.
If you implement these changes and encounter any problems, please let me
know.
My thanks to Mike Dailey for hosting these diagrams at the Panteraplace
site and to Larry Finch for helping to work out the required changes.
Have fun now,
