Dear Wheelz and mid-60s Buick electricians,

Well Guys!  I duunno?  the switch was TIGHT in the dash... so all I did was simply unthreaded the chrome besel from the switch, pulled the switch out from behind the dash, unclipped the connector and snapped the pix as shown.???

That's the procedure for the switch on a 1965 Special.  That style of switch doesn't protrude beyond the chrome bezel so you can simply unscrew the bezel.

I'm not certain, but I believe this is the switch from OPGI that finally ended up working on my wagon:

It appears that they continued to use the 1964 Skylark ignition switch in the 1965 Specials while the 1965 Skylarks got another model - at least that was the explanation coming from OPGI.  Anybody know what was really going on with Buick A-Body ignition switches at the time?

Cheers, Edouard
