Hello all! Long time looker first time poster! I think this is the right spot for this post hopefully.

I've got an 80 malibu I'm putting a trick chassis steering column in which requires an aftermarket turn signal switch. I'm going to be using the motion raceworks switch but I'm unsure which wires off the column harness I have to use. Any input is appreciated. Thanks for any and all help!

Any input on this? Or should I post this in another section?
Thanks!

The factory switch is fairly complicated and cannot be replaced with such a simple switch without some relays, diodes or adding wiring to the circuit.

With relays something like this.

To me the simplest way would be to use a GM turn signal switch which will require you to make a mounting bracket and housing for it.
