Don't know on the shifter handle question but the seats come up on eBay all the time. They are basically the same seats as any other '68 A body. Only the covers are exclusive to make. Price varies...I'd say $150 and up for a decent pair that you can work with.
The '68 ignition switch is not available new. It's exclusive to the Tempest/Lemans/GTO...I got one here on PY in good condition. They also pop up on eBay occasionally but be careful that you get the right one. The uninformed will sell you one from a Chevelle, Cutlass etc. with the explanation that they are all the same. They are not.... and that includes the '68 Firebird. It is a different switch.

greg, what's the difference between switches, location of wire connections or exterior appearance.

There is a plastic plug made to fit the ignition switch. It's part of your underdash harness and it's made to fit the proper switch and no other. It has eight prongs.
You can make another switch work but you have to know exactly what you are doing...That is, you'll have to either do away with the plastic plug or rig up some other type of connectors to jumper it to the new switch... and you'll also have to know exactly what prong on your replacement switch can be substituted for the original. That's exactly what someone had done to mine (discarded the original plug) when I got it and it was a real pain getting it back to original. The switches are not impossible to find in good shape. Advertise your needs in the wanted section of this site. Someone will have what you need and all you'll have to do is plug and play. If you need a pic of the original, I have a junk one around here I can shoot for you. Let me know.

thanks greg,
i'm not sure that i have the right one in my car now, i seem to remember the back of the switch being square , i'll have to check and get back to you chris is the bezel supposed to be thicker on one side as to aim the switch away from the steering column? mine does, seems odd but not sure what it's supposed to look like. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
