My 75 Elite did the same thing, changed the bulbs even though they were working.  What I found was one of the wires had worked out of the socket in the plug on the left turn signal assembly.  I worked with it a little and guess some dirt or whatever was in it came loose and fell out...... that corrected it.  Has not done it since.  

Hope the socket thing works on yours.

Torino Kid......

Did you find a solution to the signal?  Just curious because as I stated in my post to you mine did not have the problem again, forgot to knock wood because the other evening it went completely out, just the park light, signal was still functioning.......so back to the wire I went.  Corrected it but I think I will have to replace the socket this time around.

NAPA carries the sockets. If there is not one in your area, try them online at http://www.napaonline.com/

 

They normally carry all light sockets used on the Torino (normally).
