" so any answers before then appreciated. :)

as others have mentioned, the self-canceler cam parts are available
off-the-shelf at parts stores that can actually tell you what fits.
carquest is where i got the parts for my '66.  ford econolines were
another app they fit.

'67 marked the gm switch, not accidentally when 4-way flashers were
first required.

" These parts are available from the AMC parts suppliers and are not that 
" expensive. I know Kennedy American sells them and I'm sure others do as well.

iirc this is a ford-style switch.  if so it's probably being reproed
for the early mustang crowd.

and the gm switch is -far- superior, not just because it's newer - in
the years i drove it, my '66 cancelers broke at least three times.
after eight years my '68's switch, probably the original, is still
fine.
