50 year old plastic parts suck: selector switch question inside..

[jcskokos]

This weekend while I was trying to figure out the problem with my radio(I curse the monkey that did the wiring 'fixes' back there) the little white box that holds all the a/c and heater control goodies broke apart. I was looking through the web for the replacement and I see a lot on ebay and other misc. sites, and most range in the mid $100 range. Although I have found some cheaper, I would like to make sure if there is a difference between the 1967 model of the part and the 'later' ones.

An example of what I am looking at is this here:

You'll need to compare part #'s and make sure they're the same, it could be supersedieded[sp?]. You'll need a part manual for that. The 2 of those look the same but could be different as the #'s are different so who knows there?

I did some checking around and from what I can tell, both parts work from 60-73 in AC cars. Confusing for sure. I need one too eventually, though I was able to repair the original.

I also found this one:

The part is about halfway down the page and is described as "Various Year A & B Body (5 button)"

Here is a little of what I am dealing with right now. I have tried searching the part number[2587564] and found that it replaces an older design, but it is not the most recent update, however I cannot seem to find what is.

50 years will play hell on anything or anybody.

The last picture; do you have a bigger picture of that piece and where/what does it plug into? Have the wiring hanging under my dash and trying to figure out where everything goes. Thanks Nick
