Does anyone know if this is the correct trunk lamp switch for a 70-71 Cuda or Challenger? Thanks in advance...

The trunk light should use a mercury switch.

Sorry, but I couldn't help but remember this line from Lethal Weapon:

"..I haven't seen anything like this since the war. The CIA used to hire mercs. They used the exact same setup... Mercury switches, that's heavy s***."

Thanks, so did the A and B body used a switch like this? Or did they use a mercury switch as well in 70 71?
