Hi Tim and All,
The 68 and the 67 are the same in this aspect.... The only problem you run
into bypassing the wheel/rheostat is that you lose your interior lights as
well, as that's the on off switch for them.... The wheel is easy fixed with
some electronic cleaner and by rolling the switch back 150 times... This
cleans, gunk, corrosion and what not off the contacts and makes it work
again....
