Thanks for the lead, Mike. My friend bought the switch. Appreciate your help. Jim

Looking for an ignition switch (key cylinder not needed) for a 1968 Riviera. Last year for the dash mounted switch. Any replies appreciated. As always, asking for a non-computer literate friend.

Thanks for the comments, Greg. The odometer has 29,xxx miles on it. The odometer had 29,xxx miles on it when I first bought the car in 1963. It has not been driven much, if at all, in over 50 years.

Terry, When I bought it the first time in 1963 I was 18 years old and weighed 147 pounds. I had no trouble getting in and out and fitting between the seat and steering wheel. Lets not talk about today.

We drove it onto the trailer when I repurchased it. When we got it home, we couldn't get it to start. I think that it could use a rebuild of the vacuum tank, the carb, the starter/generator and the coil and distributor. I had the pan pulled and cleaned out - very little in it. It was reinstalled with a new gasket. Replaced a leaking freeze plug. Has new plugs and wires.

Buickborn, the original factory literature I have gives the 6 cylinder b.h.p. as 50 and the 4 cylinder b.h.p. as 35.

See information and picture in Buy/Sell.

Did you ever find your engine number?

Where is the ignition relay located on a 68 riv. Asking for a friend. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the responses. I have ordered it all from Centerville.

Have a 65 with the 401. I need the driver's side motor mount (will take both sides if available) and the transmission mount.

My friend's 68 GS is getting ready to paint. He is looking for rear wheel lip moldings to complete the car. He needs both sides.

Thank, Jason. That's the info I was looking for.

I see in "Options Not Included" for 68 that 47% of Rivs were equipped with the stainless steel rocker moldings. My question is: are they painted solid black or are the tops of the ribs cleaned off for contrast?
