I believe this part is expensive because ISP has invested in designing and 
making adaptor sleeves to allow later parts to work in 66-7 steering columns. 
If you should need to replace some of these parts later on, you can reuse the 
adaptor sleeve and just replace the much less expensive later switch. It looks 
like they have used the 68-70 switch, which is fairly common.

I think this is a good replacement for '67s, but I don't know how well it will 
hold up for 6 V '66s, where the switch might be called on to carry twice the 
current it was designed for. In the worst case, however, you still just have to 
replace the switch, which should be under $40.
