Does anyone have a modern NAPA or others part number for the brake light pressure switch that's mounted on the back of the master cylinder? Thanks Terry

I assume this is for a StepDown ('cause that's what is in your picture) but what year and model? Might make a difference, I dunno...

This is for a '50 C-6 262. The MC is new as are the brake lines and flexible brake hoses. When I removed the two wires from the pressure switch, a post came off the switch .

Terry,

When this happened to me I brought the old switch to a NAPA store and they quickly found a replacement. It was used on lots of vehicles.

Key is 'low pressure' actuation {not power brakes}.

Thanks guys. I'll be picking one up today. Does a lot of fluid leak out? I'll be doing a "quick" change i.e. old out and new one in immediately. Terry

No fluid will leak out as long as you do not touch the brake pedal. Walt.
