I bought the harness and switch out of a 69. The pin switch is too small. Am I missing something or is there a different size for a 1970 coronet?
Are there different size thread for trunk light switches?

Thats weird. They are usually self tapping, wonder if yours was overtightened before you changed it?

I just looked at my 69 Coronet and it is self tapping as well.
Wonder if the hole got wallowed out at some point or maybe the 70's use a bigger diameter switch ?

The hole is in perfect shape. No distortion. It never had anything screwed into it.

I'll get out to the garage tomorrow and measure the diameter on my 70 RR and let you know.

A simple solution is to just grind off the threaded part of the tab and put a nut on the threads.
You might need one like this: For 70 and up may-be? They are a push in. I don't see any threads in the hole and it looks like it needs a bushing (see my example).

The seller said it came out of a 1969 Charger.

might be wrong one for a 70 Coronet.
The trunk bracket is too thick to allow a nut to thread onto it.

Found this on ebay. Says its for a 1968 Satellite. looks way bigger. So is my thinner pin switch just for the charger or did someone mislabel this part?
Huh! Self threading! Larger! The op never had a trunk light?

Is this what it should look like? Plastic looks too modern for a 70 coronet. what's the tab for near the push in?
You would have to hook a ground wire up to that one since it isn't threaded into the car body.

Here's what I have on my 68 Road Runner. If it threads in I am hoping that somewhere under that primer are some threads........

Yea. I looks like it’s the wrong one for a 68-70 Roadrunner or coronet.
so is it for a charger then?

Sellers says it fits our cars. Go figure.

That's what my seller said. I believe both of these sellers are wrong. Too skinny.

my seller is sending me the larger size. Hopefully it's the fix
