I looked on Fastlane, and the part they describe as it (I think; they call it an "impulse relay") is slightly different. I believe mine has 3 pins and one plastic alignment dowel; however, the one that Fastlane pictures has 4 pins and that dowel.
Is Fastlane's part an updated one, or what's up? AFAIK, the flasher that's in the car now is original; the part has a "Made in West Germany" sticker or something to that effect. I brough thte flasher into the parts shop at the dealer and they want $50 for it. Fastlane wants $26 for the part I described.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Warden, old models must have had three pins as there is a statement under the ID on the Worldpac about "newer modules have 4 pins. please verify the plug has an empty hole where the forth pin goes etc."

well I bought a new replacement when the original flasher stopped completely in my '83 (now sold) and the new one was much quieter than the old one. FYI.
If you need some more noise to indicate the turn sigs are working you could buy a small buzzer and wire it to the lead that carries power to the tail lights, just an idea. They probably sell one at Frys on Portage St. in PA.
