Functionality of indicator stalk - '72 240Z?

[PeterAllen]

As stated with my earlier question about washer functioning I have never actually driven my car so I don't know how things work. I'm now looking at the blinker stalk and there appears to be far too many wires for merely left and right indicator functions. Does pulling it towards the driver activate the headlights, i.e flash the lights? Are there and other functions? Thanks

Hi Peter,

 

On my early 260 pulling the stalk back and releasing it changes between high and low beam.  On the 260 (not sure about the 240) there is a little button at the end of the stalk which you push to flash the lights.

Makes perfect sense - thanks. No button on the 240Z

Yes, to confirm on the 240z blinker stalk. Up and down for the blinkers, pull back to switch between high and low beam. No push to flash button on the 240.
