My 69 GTO has the "B" lighter. I had scrounged up an "A" lighter somewhere and figured it would fit because the knob looked the same but I was wrong. You can screw the knob off but the element won't fit in the hole.

I've got the type A in my 62 GP. I guess that's the Rochester. It looks fine, but doesn't work for some reason. All new wiring to boot.

Found this CASCO tag this weekend while sorting thru some stuff in the basement. I wonder if they are reproduced. Be nice to attach to the lighter while at car shows.

I'm not concerned as much with the knob as the filiment...the knob will unscrew.Type A is a Rochester insert and Type B is the Casco. Which one do you have Type A or Type B & what year/make/model?
Thanks... GP Mike

I have a limited supply of Casco lighters and I'm planning to make some 64-5, 66, and 67-72 lighters this week.

Thanks for all your help.

Have you tried checking to see if there is current to it.. the outer shell is negative as its ground to the dash frame, and the centre is positive.. should have power all the time. Funny the lighter nowadays is to charge up an ipod or something like that and not a smoke :>)

I have a 1969 GTO built February 69 in Fremont CA with a type B Casco lighter. The knob is smaller, though, and it has the light which clips onto the outer case. Do you sell the Casco lighter by itself with the larger knob?

I've never seen a casco style in an F body. Although I changed mine over to casco. I put the original knob from my Rochester onto the casco element with casco socket. Pretty much looks original but I don't have to worry about a melt down anymore.

My 65 Lemans has a type B but the knob does not match the other knobs which all look like the Type A.
I recently purchased a new type A to match the knobs but its too large to fit in the socket????????
The type B lighter I have works great but looks like crap sinse it dosent match the knob of typr A.--------Hope I didn't confuse you.
