No, we installed switch and disconnected vacuum, so at least the back up lights work when in reverse

You can see my ps bracket rebuild and rubber snub placement at: The Imperial Power Steering Bracket

I think the vacuum is maybe causing the contact bridge or contact points of the switch to move around, preventing continuity

It’s set up exactly as the pic you posted indicates. Nobody ever messed with it. Would be difficult for you to duplicate doing a bench

I agree that both internal systems should independent of each other. Perhaps the vacuum is moving the metal connector contact that completes the light circuit. It’s an aweful lot of turbulence goin on in that switch?

By the way, everything else on the car works perfectly, (even the atc), except clock and auto brake release Www.1967imperial.com

Wow, completely makes sense. My setup is pic #1 and 2. The plastic piece has long fallen by the wayside The purpose of the plastic insert is to provide a friendly surface/contact point for the moving plastic tab/finger/lever on the switch. As proof of the latter please see my pic below. You will...

Thank you, would be interested in another if you could solve.

Agreed, we put a test light on the switch with and with out vacuum, only when the vacuum hose was disconnected did the test light work, we did the same for back up lights and found same results. There is something about the vacuum within the switch that disrupts the electrical connectivity for...

Thank you both for replies

utilizing a mirror we can see that the sliding pin in the column goes from the fully open position to the closed position in drive. I purchased a rehabbed unit from Dematt, I believe, but the backup lights won’t work when the vacume hose connected. Disconnect vacuum hose and back lights work. So...

Looking for a NOS mopar part # 2857486 vacume parking brake/backup light switch used in the ‘67 and ‘68 Inperials. Switches were known for failure. Hoping maybe someone has a nos or good used switch. See pic below. Thank you, Mike

Update on the 1967 Imperial. We took the car to Hershey AACA in ‘21 and ‘22 and entered it in the HPOF (historic preservation of original features) class. The judges really poured over the car. One of the Judges did not believe the interior was original, it was that well preserved. Anyway, the...

Have an inquiry into Calipersonline Thank u

I know cardone makes remanufactured 2 piston bud calipers for ‘67 Imperials. Getting pads presents a challenge and rotors forget about it. Is there a source for rebuilding the calipers? Is there an easy swap out to a more readily available later model replacement (read that the 1970 Imperial...

Thanks for the feedback. You can see the story of our 1967 Imperial at www.1967imperial.com.

thanks for the pic on the ‘67 sold to a dealer. Glad we had a chance to chat.

I agree with your assessment. That’s why we invited people into the roped area to see the Imperial close up and chat. We had so many people walk over the rope and chat with us. My brother and I opened doors, hood and trunk and shared our experience.

Just got back from our 1st trip to Carlisle. We displayed our 1967 Imperial under the Survivors Tent. Great to see original unrestored Mopars and speak to all the owners. Great stories!!
