I have one of each here that I'm going to disassemble and clean for future use. I looked in the chassis manual but came up empty and am not about to pull my dash apart. That said: which years use the 7 tab and which years the 8?
I just looked up the headlamp switch for a 1970 GS455. I got the 7 terminal, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinf...TJ9gOeVJnYd8JWxS48Q8x2YUOMbyIz0co0M5bCYRWeA== When I looked up 1971 and 72, I got the optional 8 terminal, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinf...TJ9gOeVJnYd8JWxS48Q8x2YUOMbyIz0co0M5bCYRWeA==
When I looked up 1972, there was a note VIN code U for the 8 terminal switch. That would be the 455. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...lectrical-switch+&+relay,headlamp+switch,4472
