Ignition Switch
Time for a new ignition switch for my 64.
All I can find are "replacement" switches. Does anyone know if my original lock cylinder will fit the new switch?
My dash light also fits into a slot in the back of the instrument cluster. Will this still work with the new switch?
Thanks.

I have an original 64 Delco switch (housing #650) that has been rebuilt for $95 and a new one for $120. They come with a lifetime warrenty. If your old switch has not been burnt out (the bakerlite on the back is OK and not fried) I'll buy it for $20.

The "replacement" switches can be made to work but may require slight rework of the cluster housing to lay flat - so I'm told.
