69 b body, can use 68 b body in my 69 b body,i have a 68,the 69 switch has a bad yellow wire circuit on switch.thanks

I think '68 cars had the ignition switch mounted in the dash. '69 cars were column ignition switches. I don't think they will interchange.

Mopars still in dash in 69. I'm thinking the switch might be the same for both years.

They did not move the ignition switch on the column until 1970.
With that said I am pretty sure that the ignition switch for 1969 is a year by itself.
Here is a link to classic industries, they have a 69 switch and list it by itself. https://www.classicindustries.com/product/all-years/dodge/all-models/parts/md1638.html

Yes, different switches for 68 and 69, different plug on the back.

69 is a one year only ignition.Its longer than the 68.Ive sold good used one with key and bezel for between 65 and 90 bucks.Tells you what they are worth.People must want OE more than new aftermarket.Rocky

is it possible to pop the wires out of the 69 connector, then reinstall into the 68 connector to use the 68 switch ? i haven't been under the dash of my charger [69] lately, so i don't remember what the connection looks like. just curious.......

thanks for the comparison pic nacho ! using the 68 switch may not be possible due to the length of the switch and the dash frame design ?

actually.... are you sure???

just was searching about that and they seems to be the same look and prongs disposition on back

if we think the dash is really the same I think is just about the opening difference in front and how "modifyable" is

I don't have the facts, just thinking out loud

but... why? if they are available for any year!

It's looks like the new ones from classic industries is just the switch without lock cyl and key so that would need to be purchased as well

And a N.O.S. 69.

I know I tried a 69 switch in a 68 and I thought that it didn't work, it has been a couple decades since I did it. I had to hang the switch below the dash because it would not fit through the hole. The old brain just doesn't work like it used to though...

I have nice used 69 Ignition switches complete with key light and bezel I might also have just the switch too. Send me a pm if interested.

it was sold like that back in the days too. Two separated pieces

This might be of interest. https://www.classicindustries.com/product/1969/dodge/all-models/parts/mn1772.html

it is interesting, but I think.... If you have to spend on an adaptor just to buy a cheaper switch and cylinder setup, why don't spend the money on the right part? meaning with this HOW MANY TIMES you have to buy the ign switch or cylinder to think on a future cheaper solution ?

just my 2 cents

Your old brain is not fried yet Jim.
You are correct on the fact that the 69 ignition switch will not fit in the opening in a 68 frame unless you expand the opening

Are the 69 switches rebuild-able?
