I believe in order to do that you have to change the valve body or at least the cockscomb that works the switch.

thats at the minimum , a wiring harness mod is also going to be needed at the bulkhead

To upgrade a '68 valve body for the 3-prong switch you need a roostercomb from a '69 or '70 VB, later years won't work; or upgrade the whole VB as suggested earlier.
