The Hurst kit used on Grady's Copo is what I would call period correct to the day where it has the earlier type solenoid from the 60's, but also uses the same black button and light module seen on his car below. I think the only thing that changed between the 2 kits was the type of solenoid with one being from the sixties and the one I have which was typically found during the 70's. I'm not sure when the changeover occurred so maybe someone can find that in an old Hurst catalog showing the parts listing? Was the chrome switch just another kit # perhaps? Looks like the same exact switch to me, only one is black versus the other being chromed plastic?

Rob's got all the cool stuff stashed away...don't you Rob? I prefer the black switch myself.
