1968 Ignition Switch
I'm finding out that this car has so many unique features! I pulled the ignition switch out of my 68 convertible and it had a lightbulb in it. When I look at a replacement ignition switch, none of the vendors have a switch with room for a lightbulb. So, my question is...is this switch original to the 68?

You can pull the guts out and reuse the housing I believe

The original 68 switch was part number 1116697 and this switch was replaced by the standard part number CS62. The CS62 used to come with a light fixture that screwed down between two nuts so you could still use your lamp... but to be honest, it's been so long since I crossed this bridge that I don't really remember.... However, I feel pretty certain that I have either a NOS or a good replacement in stock.. so if you are interested, email me direct at service@willcoxcorvette.com.
