Does anyone have a source that repairs or sells the parts for vacuum assembly that is installed under the dash for tilt away steering column on a 69 GT350.

Thanks.  Dan

I have some 69 (black canister) and 68 (white cansister) vacuum /relay assemblies on the shelf if you hit a dead end. PM me if interested.

What is the correct door pin switch that activates the relay look like and part number?  Is it another white plastic style with Autolite or have the metal face/mount tabs? If it's the metal style, what is the finish, phospahte or silver cad?  Also if it's the metal style, does it have a round plunger or more flat face plunger?

C6OZ-13713-? is the number for the door jamb switch 1967-69. Black button and the metal surround.

Looks like this example I grabbed from ebay just now. The finish when new is typically brighter then the oxidized finish on the example. Plunger has rounded tip.There are no mfg markings that can be seen.

That switch is the C7ZZ-13713-A, I confirmed it with him this morning and would work in place of the C6OZ-13713-A.  They look the same, function the same, the C7 has a slightly larger hole 29/32 vs. 7/8 for the C6.   That's why I was asking about this. Some of the C6's have the round plunger, some don't.  They both have the large female bullet connections as well.

I have not ever seen a original tilt switch that did not have the round plunger end.

West Coast Cougar has a lot of this stuff.  Nice folks to deal with.

Those are two different switches that get confused. The C7ZZ-13713-A switch has a longer plunger or button. This switch is mounted to the side of the tilt column on a 1967, not in the door jamb. Also has the squared edges on the metal ring.

Has anyone else seen the switch with the squared edges and longer plunger on 68'and 69's?

These are great folks to work with.  Four years ago I bought a complete under dash tilt steering module from them that works perfectly in my car.  I was talking with WCCC a few weeks ago and the guy they had there that serviced these is no longer with them.
