Pete,

I am not a C1 Guru but this is what I have to offer which your probably already know:

The 1962 Corvette AIM lists GM # 3758682 and 3758683 as the flasher part numbers in Sect. 12, sheet 12.00.
My 1963 Chevrolet Parts Catalog (Oct. 1962) lists GM # 3758682 for 61-63 Corvettes as well as other Chevrolet models. The description is "FLASHER, controls 3 bulbs only (AP373V). The AP373V is a Tung-Sol flasher.

What is confusing is that Chevrolet sold the Tung-Sol AP373V, Signal Stat 143, and Signal Stat ZN332 in GM boxes with the 3758682 part number.

Back in the 1980's I found a Tung-Sol AP373V flasher (also stamped "H 362") in a 1962 Chevrolet Impala. As you know I have had many NOS AP373V flashers and I (or anyone else) have yet to figure out the date code system (if one exists) on these flashers ("H362", H119", "H661", "H862", H681", etc.).

Dave - Thanks. I have some Tung-Sol AP373V in a box labeled 1961-1963 but I wasn't sure if they were used in both Chevrolets & Corvettes. I guess I need to label things better. Pete

Pete,

Many years ago I researched the 3758682 flasher (Tung Sol AP373V) in the 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 and 67 Chevrolet parts catalogs and found the following:
59 PASS
60 IMPALA, NOMAD
61-62 IMPALA (exc. S.W.)
61-63 CORVETTE
63 IMPALA

I have since sold my 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, and 62 Chevrolet parts catalogs.

I have the ZN332 in my 62.

Re: 62 Corvette Turn Signal Flashers

John - Thanks. That's the Signal-Stat 3-lamp flasher, it appears that the Tung-Sol 3-lamp flasher equivalent would be the AP373V. Pete

Re: 62 Corvette Turn Signal Flashers

I have the ZN332 in my 62.

John,

There should be a date code stamped on your ZN332 flasher.
Example: "S2562" (Syracuse, 25th week of 1962).
