Not sure, but it might have something to do with the wiring connections.

My Illustrated Parts Catalogue shows two, essentially old style dash and new dash.

68-77 #1995191
78-82 #1995215

I know (from the experience of having to replace mine) that there are at least two different types. I posted pictures here years ago but the only difference I could see is that one (presumably for later models) has a tab formed into the switch's metal frame. It serves as a ground lug for one of the connections.

Hope this helps.

If I was at home I'd go look at a couple,what I seem to remember is 8 term and 7 term switches but in both cases only 6 terminals are used and its the same 6 on both switches. could be wrong,I'll check it out when I get back home
