    67 ignition switch

    Is a 67 ignition switch assembly unique to a Corvette or is it used in other vehicles? I lost the piece of cardboard that directs light to the key slot and am looking for a pattern.

    Thank you,

    Randy

    The switch was also used in 1966 Chevrolet full size passenger cars. No other GM applications. However, there may be components of other switch assemblies that are the same.

      I made a shield out of a piece of cardboard to fit my switch.

        Randy I use thin gasket material. You'll have to remove the switch and use it for a pattern. Trace the outside of the shape then trim extra so it fits in the lip of the holder under the tabs. It may take a few tries.

        Here is a original, note the round hole in the cardboard. I think that was to let lamp heat escape.

          Randy - The "1938-1967 CHEVROLET PARTS AND ACCESSORIES CATALOG for 1938-1967 PASSENGER CAR AND CORVETTE", EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1966 that I have lists the following in Group No. 2.188:

          66 PASS, CORVETTE ......... SWITCH ASSY., less cyl. and keys ....... 1116673
          67 CORVETTE .................. SWITCH ASSY................................... 1116686

          "FAST FORWARD" to the CHEVROLET PASSENGER-CHEVELLE-NOVA-CAMARO PARTS CATALOG," Revision No.2, Effective June 1972 which lists
          the following in Group No. 2.188:

          66 Pass ...............1116686 ............ SWITCH ASSY

          So, at some time between 1967 & 1972 PARTS CATALOGS the p/n 1116686 "IGNITION" SWITCH ASSY superseded the initial p/n 1116673 SWITCH ASSY for the 1966 Chevrolet Pass

            You think maybe that little hole might leak a little light thru that notch and illuminate the key hole so the driver could find the hole to put the key. Maybe that's what the light was for in the first place. Think maybe????

              Yes the lamp is to illuminate the key tumbler.
