I was quite interested in this thread when it first started as mine were slow. I often wonder if it may have been partly to blame for getting rearended.

Anyway, an update. As part of rebuilding the car I replaced all of the brake & turnsignal bulbs with new ones. The signals now flash perfectly just like ones on my daily drivers. I have no idea why but they do and I never did anything with the flasher units??

The new bulbs (may be higher rated, 10 watts rather than 5) and clean connections (keep all your connections clean) allow more current to pass through the circuit, the more current the quicker the flash.

Stupid question, I know, but do you know where it is located?
Thanks!

It's right under the dash by your right knee. It's a little square thing with two wires going to it. The FL32 I put in is working perfectly. The signals flash at the same rate under all conditions, no matter what the battery load is.
