1969 GM Ignition Lock System / Visor Sleeve info?

[hubleyman]

Looking for a little info on a 1969 GM Ignition Lock System / Visor Sleeve….

The one I have is an early version, dated 7-9-68, part number 3961388, and is 5” wide. I did a little internet surfing and can only find a 7” wide 1st edition version, dated the same but part number 3961387.

Any ideas on what GM vehicles would have had this narrow version?

Check with Phil "Woj" on these. He may know. Here is a photo available to me now and is what is on my '69 Chevelle SS. I do not know if it is original or a repro. Do they reproduce these?

never saw one like the blue one before.

The blue covered sleeve with the arrow on it is an early edition, regardless of part number or application. I guess GM didn't think they included enough information on those the so they changed to a design with printed info on both sides.....

I believe they reproduce the "wider" 1st edition version and also the more typical 2nd edition sleeves, but I am not familiar with the more narrow 1st edition sleeve that I dug out of my stash of stuff.

Don't know why GM would make two different versions of the 1st edition unless maybe they required a narrower version on a car with a smaller sunvisors?

The Chevelle pic is cool with two sleeves on one visor (never seen that done before) - so you don't have to physically move the sunvisor to read the other side of the sleeve....

I have the same early version dated 7-9-68 and the other later version is P/N 3964572 dated 10-2-68

we had a pretty good discussion on these awhile back..'06? I had one out of a rusted granny 4dr nova I parted out...cant recall the build date on the car though... Belair ended up with the sleeve from the car.
