This is so helpful thank you! I just realized I’m looking on the wrong side of the firewall!

Is mine just missing? Looks like it. And I am inside the car, looking for this, right?

Also looks like I’m missing the white prong. Are those available?

Where did you find the pin that fits in the column? That’s what I need too

Lol. I was hoping that was the part you found on eBay. That little pin is impossible to find. And the folks that are willing to sell them know what they got!

I contacted Murray Park in OH (you need to get to know the valuable resource that Murray is for these C bodies) and he pulled one out of a steering column for me. A buddy tried helping me 3D print some duplicates, but none of them were strong enough.

I contacted Murray and he has one! $50 so pricey but not crazy given rarity.

Keep us posted on the progress.

When I recondition my switch, I spent some extra time cleaning the rod the plastic traveler slides along (in the switch, not the pin). With the price of that little pin, and how hard it is to work in that space, I am hopeful not to have to go back.

I am still trying to figure out how to re-pop that pin though. I think there is quite the market out the for them.

Agree! Thanks for the help!
