OK guys could use some help here. I have a 1962 Chevy Corvair. I built an ECU for it and have all engine management controlled by it. But that was rather easy as all the work was done all I had to do is follow directions and solder up the PCB with the labeled components.
I am more of a fabricator and engine builder than electronics guy, but I can follow directions.
I am adding a third tail light on each side. The stop light and turn light are the same lights. I will run a new wire to each side in the back for the turn lights, and will have them connected to a relay to disconnect the stop light on the side that the turn light is operating on. that is easy enough.
Here is where I need help. I do not want to use a flasher for the rear, I want the lights to work like this. Numbering the lights from the inside to the outside 1, 2, 3. (one inside, 3 outside) what I want is lights to light first 1, then while 1 is still on 2, then while 1 and 2 are still on 3, then all three off and start over. Not knowing much I am guessing I would need a 555 timer and transistors? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
If any of you have questions about stretching or shrinking metal, or clearances required in an engine for a particular use, hey I can help you then! LOL!
TIA
