Not exactly true. There were three different turn signal switches used on 
67 and 68 Americans (excluding right hand drive models). The one for column 
shift automatics is not a common GM part and when the cam breaks, you have 
to replace the entire switch (the cam has wires going to it and there are 
electrical contacts in it). I think I've seen new switches for sale at 
either http://www.ramblerparts.com or http://www.americanpartsdepot.com.
