Recently, I came across some light switch housings. There were some that were rounded on the end where the wires exit and some of these were shorter than others. There were some with two dimples on the sides where the wires exit. I looked through the Model A judging standards (old copy) and saw there was a short version from Feb. '28-Oct '29 and a long version from Sept. '29 through end of production. According to the '32 book, the early '32's were a Model A carry-over through May '32 when a short version for clearance came out again. My question...is the short Model A version the same as the short '32 version? I also looked in the '33-'34 book and the '35-'36 book to see what version they describe, but there is not much description there. Anyone out there who can clear this up?'s

The v8 light switch housings have a flat spot on them. They will work with Model A however... Originals are like gold now, sold 4 unrestored a few months ago to a dealer for $50 each!

Anyone know whether the '32 and A ones are the same?
