Does anyone know the correct orientation of the turn signal canceling ring. Looking from the front of the steering wheel how should the gap in the ring be clocked?

Thank you very much. Exactly what I needed to know. Going to print it out and put in my shop manual. I didn't even think of checking the cam ring and there is definitely a pretty deep grove. knowing I can just flip it over and not having to buy a new one is a great hint. Also not using white lithium grease is a good hint. I WAS planning on using it as it doesn't harden as much as black grease. I'll just use some P.B. max and not the P.B. blaster penetrant on re-assembly.This should help: rosecitythunderbirds.org/turn-signal-switch.html
I got the new canceler in but had to adjust it a few times as I discovered that the old one with it's grinding shaved off some of the 'hips' that holds the roller in place at the end of it's travel were quite worn and would barely keep the signal on. I may have to go back, clean it up with solvent and lay down some JB weld to build those hips up a bit.Thank you very much. Exactly what I needed to know.

That thing hasn't worked right in so many years. If I had only known how easy it is.
