Default Right Headlight Switch?

I bought a headlight switch from Corvette Central part # 593052. It states its for 68-73 but it doesn't have the two vacuum ports on it. Is it the correct one? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Russ

Right part number but you need the two vacuum ports so they sent the wrong switch or it's in the wrong box

The same thing happened to me from a different vendor. The correct switch costs about 50% more than a non-vacuum switch.

i would go with Willcox or lectric limited for that switch. Willcox tends to test swtiches before they are sent out and I have had good products from both companies. You can always call Willcox and talk to someone that actually knows what they are talking about too.
