Flash Manual

My Canon 540EZ flash won't work with my Canon 10D in manual mode?
I use my old 430EZ in manual mode and it works perfectly fine. Now, I recently got an used 540EZ and it seems to work in full power all the time, even when I set the flash in manual mode at 1/64 or lower. I tried it on my Canon EOS 1D and I still have the same problem. Thanks.

This EZ series flash is probably incompatible, even in M mode, with the 10D. My assumption would be the TTL communication that the camera is trying to accomplish is interfering with the flash's TTL communications that it's trying to do as well, even though it's in M mode.
You may try taping over the TTL contacts to see if that improves things.
