I had purchased about 5 broken headlight switches a while back as parts pieces. I am not sure what years they all are from.

Perhaps one might have the component you need.

Swappable part?

Much better picture, I can look through what I have and get back to you.

@dtejada I have an earlier switch box that looks just like your late one. as far as the rocker part and metal box part. (in pictures) It has the blade connectors at the plug, yours are round.

The only difference I see is the wires on yours are a larger gauge (and round). You could unsolder them and swap them that way.

You got the special shocks designed to dampen forces only in a curve.

That’s why it takes curves so nice and tight, it doesn’t clunk at all 😮‍💨

An innovative solution to achieving infinitely-adjustable ride height and spring stiffness without the messiness of cutting or welding.

I spun them up a bit raising the front. Now the back is another story they seem to be replaced already…IMG_8748.jpeg

I found two leaks, totally unexpected! 😲 seems like the valve cover gasket seeping oil. Right below there, the coolant fitting coming from the head to the heater core. Is that fitting a good idea to remove or leave it alone? I replaced the hose it was leaking but then I noticed more wetness over night even after cleaning with brake cleaner.IMG_8797.jpeg
