I have only taken apart the later style with the sliding switch, so I'm afraid I'm not much help. My '71 B-series Compact Van factory service manual doesn't even show the Speed Control parts, and the next newest FSM I have is for '77s. Hopefully somone can check their FSM and see if the Speed Control stalk is mentioned/pictured.

The button on the top is pressed in, takes some careful pulling to get it out with a small vice grip, I wasnt too worried about the old switch as I replaced it with a new push button from radio shack that fit perfectly as this will be my line loc button in the future.
