'68 backup light switch
Trying to find a backup light switch for my 4-speed '68. Nothing at zip or my local auto parts place (I refuse to deal with Ecklers). Anyone suggest a good place to look?

The 68 is a one year only part - that no one carries new. I bought a reconditioned unit earlier in the year, but don't remember where. I will look through my receipts to see if I can find out where I got it. I do remember that it was someplace that Ron at Corvette America suggested to me. The unit was expensive - between $100 and $150 for the switch.... versus under $10 for a 69 and up...

Paragon has them. Excellent repro of the original. The back up light switch was used in more years than '68. The brake light switch was one year only. Don't forget to get the linkage rod that connects the shift linkage to the switch. They are often damaged or missing.
