WANTED 1966 Newport turn signal switch

[5fty7vn]

Anyone have a turn signal switch for a 1966 Chrysler Newport......or know where to find one, preferably NOS but will consider aftermarket as well. My car does not have tilt steering. From.what ive seen, the part number should be 2822170. Thanks.

You didn't say if it's a tilt wheel, so I'll assume it's not.

More Information for SHEE-MAR SM102 shows that part number as an interchange.

I had 2 of those switches and the problem i had with each one is the tabs on the lever didn't fit into the 2 slots on the back of the switch like the original switch, which caused the the whole mechanism to not work properly.

I just pulled the same one I have off the shelf (long story how I ended up with it) and it looks like it's a pretty easy fix. I'm not sure if hardened, and if it isn't, about 3 minutes with a small file would make it work. If it's hardened steel, 2 minutes with a dremel tool.

I thought about taking a dremel to it but considering some places won't take an electrical item back, I figure if the part doesn't work AND it's been modified, they for sure won't take the part back. But, I may have to bite the bullet
