Yeah, check the ground wire to the right inside fender. If that looks ok, pull the connector off the left headlight. You should be able to get at that one from under the hood. Check if there is 12 ...

On the blinkers:
Are just the dash lights not working or are the outside lights not coming on?

Don't need much to convert from a generator to an alternator. Depending on what you need the alternator to do one from a late 70s A/C equipped vehicle should do it. Just get a connector for it and r ...

Wrong flasher. The one you want is under the dash between the steering column and the radio. Feel for it while it's flashing. Should be able to find it.

With your HEI distributor there is no resistor on the line going into the HEI B+ terminal. You may be right in the root cause being the input B+ (12 volts) to the HEI. Try and eliminate that as a ca ...

Do you have the ground strap for the coil? Goes inside the cap. It is the center pin of the 3 pins of the connector on the coil.

I'd test it out before I would replace any parts. Nothing worse than spending the time and money replacing it just to find out it's an easy fix. An open sender ground, an open sender wire, or an ope ...

Without grabbing a book, thought the 74 turn signal flasher is under the dash. The only one in the fuse block is the emergency flasher can.
It's located on about 10 inches of wire somewhere between ...

What you can try is to remove the blown fuse. Connect a test light or an automobile light and socket across the fuse clips. A couple of clip lead may help.
Turn on the dash lights and turn the rheo ...

I'd connect a test meter (VOM) to the BAT terminal on the fuseblock. There should be 12 volts at all times. See if it disappears as you honk the horn or open the door.

I don't have an El Camino. It's the wife's car. She wanted it and went out to buy it dragging me along.
