1952 Ford steering wheel cam
 

turn signals dont turn off..... steering wheel cam does the cam have the open side facing the switch when installed on car or is the closed side facing the switch also how does the cam come out of the steering wheel ive bought a manual and no answers///right now is installed with the wheel 180 degrees out of correct and this puts thewheel cam open towards the switch,, so this also makes the wheel 2 spokes facin up rather than correct down dennis

If it's like the truck, the two tangs should be about 1:30 and 4:30 assuming the signal is at 9 o'clock. That's how I have mine set and it works fine.
