Re: Question regarding '68 brake light switch

That is the switch you need and here is where it mounts. There is a small bracket in between the sides of the main pedal bracket. One of the pressed steel nuts will be above the small bracket and one is below. It is hard to get to unless you drop the steering column down to install it. You adjust it by screwing the bottom nut where it needs to be for the switch to operate correctly and then snug up the top nut to lock it in place.

The wiring connector should be there somewhere. The wires in the plug would be Orange & White.....
