Thanks, Dan--that doesn't sound too bad. My '62 Chrysler switch is actually a 5-button switch, so that part should be OK....I just might have to swap some vacuum lines.

Mike, I have a modified HC-205 switch in my 63 Fury. You have to take the switch apart by shaving off the plastic rivets (same as fixing yours) and replace the rivets with little screws when putting it back together. It's just a matter of removing the extra button. But I bought my switch on ebay from somebody who had already modified it. The vacuum hoses are the same number and hook up the same however when I tested the switch before installing it I found it wasn't working in the correct order. Just on a hunch I took the switch apart and turned the slides around 180 degrees and it works fine. However to this day I don't know if you have to turn the slides around after removing the extra button or if the guy I bought the switch from put them back in backwards by mistake. I know there's articles in the tech section on how to fix your old switch but I could have sworn I saw an article on modifying the HC-205 switch into a 4 button switch but I'll be damned if I can find it.Dan
