Don't buy this set up for the switch, it doesn't work. I believe it is a brake light switch. It has constant power running through it until the switch is depressed. This was the reason why my tranny would not upshift. Why would you claim something is a suitable replacement when you know [censored] well it isn't? Pisses me off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/67-68-69-FIREBIR...148&vxp=mtr

I'm not sure if it's for a brake light switch. Thanks for the heads up there, ebay is sucks. I noticed that seller has 119 neg feedbacks is nightmares! 
This is my old pic of '67 1/2 Firebird (7/27/67) w/ '74 Pontiac 400/400 on Jan 1st, '90. She had original Tyrol Blue Ext. with Std. Dark Blue Int., 326 2bbl, 4spd, 2 traction bars, 1 of 6,078 built in '67. I'm the current owner of '67 Firebird 400 coupe with original code F-400 Option, 1 of 22,636 built in '67 with rare T400. My brother & I picked her up and brought her to my new home. It's original eng. & trans. are long gone. Has factory K-Gulf Turquoise under primer, had Ivory vinyl top. Has factory RH traction bar w/ 3.08 gear, J-custom option with original Deluxe Parchment Int., has rare fold down rear seat. I'll look for a good running '67 400/400 when it's done.

I bought one before reading your post, is there anything you found that would work?

The guy is notoriously known locally as a big :insert favorite expletive:
With that being said, I have that exact part installed on my, I will find out this weekend how "well" it works. Keep us updated if you find something that works for your purposes.

Yet many here are very happy with The Parts Place Hood Tach.
Could have been a manufacturer's issue.

I can tell you for a fact, that it doesnt work properly and if it does work, it will most certainly die an early death from the heat inside the engine compartment. I have gone through a couple of these before I gave up and did a tranny swap. 1st one didnt work second on did, but only for a short time and died from the heat. Dont waste your money on it. B&M sells one that is different and have been told by a few folks that it works good. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-20297/overview/

You said it buddy! He is! Has been for years! Only made the mistake once and bought some dried up trunk splatter paint from him, he did everything known in the book of scumbacks to deny it...
