For reference, the car is a 70 RR 440-6 4speed, LA Built car.

Can someone tell me what steering columns got "HAZARDS" or "FLASHERS ON"?

My guess: 70 columns had the ignition key light and therefore, got the 'FLASHERS ON' as it has an indentation on the back of it to allow the light to be seen. 71 columns did not get the light and therefore, got the pull out "HAZARDS" button.

Anyone out there actually know the answer to this?

Someone??

In 1970, the B & E bodies got the flasher switch in the column just above the ignition key. I think the same thing through 74, don't know about the lite..


Just my $0.02..

Right. But what i'm inquiring about is what does that button say in 70? Does it say 'Flashers On' which appears to be used with the light package or does it say 'Hazards' which i'm assuming was used when the car was not ordered with A01.

Here's a pic of a Feb. '70 LA built non-A01 4-spd GTX, sorry no pic of the text on the button. '70 columns are one year only.

That's the 'HAZARDS' button - it's easy to idenify. That button is a small black rectangle. The 'Flashers On' is more circular as it has a recess on the back of it to allow for the ignition key light.

Looks like it requires the HAZARDS button and if it came with the A01 option, then you got the FLASHERS ON button.

Thanks for the picture!!

well... since mid 71 production, all hazzard setups were pull out and BIGGER knob ( allmost square ) than earliers... but on these the ign key courtesy light is out of the hazzard knob provision at column collar. Columns without the light got a plastic plug where the light should be on non equipped cars

the hazzard knob on pic shows the later kind ( second 71 and laters ), not the thin one like 70s and first 71 half got

here what the 70 dealership databooks ( A, E and B, Plymouth and Dodge ) shows












note the PLYMOUTHS say pull out on description, and Dodge clearly shows FLASH ON and arrow to pull in

Note now the 71 data books

Barracuda shows with BIG knob like laters did which is pull out. There you can be the plastic plug when courtesy light was no optioned



Satellite, Coronet, Charger, and Valiant shows the push in earlier kind









NOW... thinking out loud... it can be very well those with courtesy light made to be pulled out, and without courtesy light being pushed in ?

Dunno, but databooks doesn't specify that, however they state one or the other kind on diff models

Now that's really odd (Thank you for the photos!!) - it shows that only the 71 Ebody got the 'flashers' square that you pull out. It looks like all 70 models and 71 a and b bodys got the 'Flashers On' push/pull tab. At least, that's from what I can see in the photos.

Is this what you're thinking as well? This is for a 70 RR from LA. My 70 Duster has the 'hazard' pull button but from these pages, it looks like it should have the 'flashers on' instead?

ok, here is what I see, but I can not take any conclusion

there are ( with maybe C bodies exceptions ) on 70/71 period 3 KIND OF SWITCHES

2 thin walls, which are one diff from the other... one to be pulled out and the other one to be pushed out... IT SEEMS the push in says Flash on and the pull out maybe labeled hazzards


one big squared was used FOR SURE on all 72 and laters models, and as far I have noticed some laters 71 models, however misteriouslly the 71 Barracuda Data page shows the later model

On thin walls knob ( earliers ) you'll find the column collar got a small cuout provision for the knob.

On big squared button, the column collar is totally diff with a big provision for it PLUS the cut out provision for the courtesy light. When this was not optioned, this provision was filled out with a plastic plug.

the courtesy light on earliers thin wall knob setup, is really small with the bulb INSIDE the column and somekind of small guide to get the light pointing out to the key. This is really small, and thats why the collar doesn't require the provision for it, but the blinkers knob got a depresion molden it giving some room for it... WHICH KNOBS DID OR NOT ( push or pull ) ? dunno, maybe all of them ?

On laters square knob, the bulb is practically outside the collar, and just a cap covers it, with a window to allow the light going to the ign key. Being this, a cut out is required and doesn't affect the shape of the blinkers knob.

is it posible the courtesy light option could affect on earliers setup being pulled out or pushed in ? DUNNO

but looking at all 70 PLYMOUTHS data book pages, all show pull out setup, and all 70 DODGES push in

this is JUST what I see, and can not take a conclusion
