If it’s like my Fury, I ran one of the nuts down, pulled it out, unplugged it and reversed process on install. It has two nuts so you can set it properly. Switch is above pedal,so your master cylinder shouldn’t be involved, although I assume you are not talking about the brake warning light...
That other Newport is still available. Add to your fleet? Sorry you missed one with a console.
I have been driving the Dart for a week now. Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s running when I am stopped-it’s that smooth. According to stuff in owner’s manual, it was sold by Allum Motors in Sharon, PA...
I bought the Dart. Plan on shopping for another C body I can work on at my leisure. The Dart will be a daily for me. Noticed a fuel leak and no fast idle when cold. Otherwise seems to be ok. The lady that had it painted it and had the carpet and seat covers replaced. Has some minor electrical...

Yes, it will be a...

I run OE copper and brass radiator. Gauge sits center and will run to high end of normal if I sit a long time, like road construction or something. Never has overheated. Owner’s manual says it can dump coolant in heavy traffic and to only fill 1 1/4” below bottom of neck as I recall. I did add...
