Looking at blinker switch from Classic Parts and they had two different switches for the 63. 1st on is 53-507 turn signal switch reproduction and the other one is 53-507A turn signal switch OE. One is $55 and the other one is $90. Has anyone used either? Pro's...cons? want to put a order in tomorrow

The $55 one looks like a china made part. It will fail in about a year. The OE one next to it for $89 is over priced in my opinion. I bought this one two years ago from American Autowire 2 years ago and has been working great. http://www.americanautowire.com/shop...al-switch-5715 It is made in USA using GM tooling.

They do have one for a 63 so I did order one. Whats the best way to slide this off the column?

Once you take the steering wheel off and unbolt the old switch you should be able to get the plug past as they made a slot for it. At least in the 64 to 66 they did. Just pay attention when your taking it apart and take pictures if you need too.
