Wow, I have to say I am new to forums and not very savvy at this. Thanks for all the welcome comments. I just happened to check this message thread. Let's see if I can figure this out. I'll post a photo of the car. I just got it a couple weeks ago. It runs but needs a little help in the fuel delivery department. I am going to replace the fuel pump, see what happens. Looking for a left front turn signal bezele, if anyone knows where I can find one I'd realm appreciate a lead. Getting a lot of dead ends on that.

Oh, it's a 1973, btw. 400 v8. 2bbl. 9 pass, white vinyl interior, manual windows, A/C blower unit in rear seat overhead area.
This is the car from Wildcat in Oregon?

Lol...
"Oh my, this guy dropped some money on something he'll never live to see the return on investment. A moment of grieving respectful silence for our fellow C-body owner."
Yeah, I got the pound puppy out of the animal shelter. Saved it from being euthanized, I suppose!
I confess there was some "Why am I doing this", but doggonit, I just like the car. Would have preferred it to have a 440, but hey, it probably would not have been sitting there for sale still, if it had that. Had a 383 70 Newport sedan when I was in school, nostalgia just got the better of me.
Hoping I can find me some exterior body trinkets, 'all that glitters' is probably gonna cost me a little gold. Oh well. Part of the fun. If I wanted easy, I could have bought a slant six Dart.
(I hope people on this forum have a sense of humor...)

As long as you have one too, all will be good.

...if anyone can direct me to a source for the turn signal bezel, I'd really appreciate the info. Nat'l.Moparts didn't have it, neither did Tony's Parts...still haven't heard back from Stephens Performance. Roblin's Garage was a dead end also. Any tips welcome. Thanks
