I picked up a nice 61 Windsor 4DR HT last year and am just now getting it road worthy. The right side of the car will not flash when I engage the dash mounted signal lever. When I signal to the left everything flashes correctly. When I signal to the right, the front turn signal bulb turns on bright and the rear turn signal bulb goes out completely. I have tried new bulbs and both a different turn signal unit and a headlight switch unit with no change in the function. Any one have any experience with a similar problem or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Lost in electrical space...........

Make sure your bulb housings are well grounded and your sockets are clean with all contacts touching correctly.

Been there, done that.
I forgot to mention, while I was swapping out turn signal switches I noticed a spark when the mounting bracket touched ground. I confirmed with a test light that power was going back thru the switch housing and making it hot?
