Default Ignition switch replacement problems with 1968

[FONT=Times New Roman]Need to replace the ignition switch on my 68. I have ordered a 68 replacement and it doesn't line up with the locking tabs of the harness nor does it have the bulb mount that mine has. Tried a 1967 from Eckler's that looked like mine with no luck. Full story and pictures at my site

Anybody recognize this and where can I get another?

We 68 owners have problems with 1 year only parts. I have not found a source for CORRECT ign. switches. I keep the lock tabs outside of the switch and tie-wrap the switch to the harness to keep it togeather.

where do you get the bottom ground of the switch? Mine doesn't come out of the harness. Updated my site to explain what I mean about the ground

I don't think the ground is used on the 68...If not in the harness, not required...
