Jerry, I had a 65 Skylark and the tail lights on mine were not sequenchel.

They certainly looked like they should have been as the lenses went from side to side.

PEEEERFECT!!! Ya nailed it now! That's just about how the majority of them worked!

As mentioned some cars worked faster, some slower. Side Note.... The cars of this time had Alternators that were only 42-55 Amps. THAT said if say you were at a RED light at night making a turn and had the A/C or Heater on with the headlights etc.. There was such a load that the lights dimmed a bit and it would actually cause the sequential motor to turn SLOWER thus the blink rate would slow down. If say the same car was on the HWY doing 55-70 MPH and the guy signaled to change lanes, the flasher would most definitely blink FASTER then at Idle. Little know facts, but this IS factual and I have one of these cars to prove it LOLOLOL
