New ignition and new chrome bezel
Just wanted to share a few pics of the new chrome ignition collar I bought from Macs Autoparts online. It’s a replacement for my 1965 Continental after the original part that was on it was twisted and broken. I went ahead and bought a new switch through Advanced Auto Parts, maybe $15, but it was the collar/bezel i was really looking for. Not sure how I ended up on Mac’s website but they told me to try replacing it with a replacement part for a 1966 Thunderbird they suggested may be interchangeable. I think the part was like $12 and fit perfectly to replace my broken one. It’s a little different looking from the original but a suitable replacement. Installing was a lot easier with lower dash removed btw.

Good stuff, especially if it fits with no issues. A new switch is also a good investment--I know from experience. Frankenstein's was on the verge of shredding itself when I got a replacement--all the contacts in it were burned up after 52 years, and it even came apart when I removed it. The new switch I got showed instant improvement in use, especially with the testing circuit to the TEMP idiot light.
