AnswerHi Tony:
We do not have cataloged information on which switch fits which vehicle, but from my recollection of those years, GM changed the long black connector during that time span. If I am not mistaken, the older ones were a little smaller, both in width and in length than the newer ones.
They did make an adapter harness to go from one to the other, but we do not stock any of those.
If you have a good GM parts man to work with, have him contact VIP. They are a vintage parts warehouse that buys up all the old stock from all the car companies when they discontinue manufacturing any specific part.
Here is a link to their site, but you need to be a dealer to buy wholesale from them.
