I just left the pressure switch in place to make it look somewhat stock. The new switch is out of a Cordoba with fine Corinthian leather.

Nicely done! Makes you wonder why the factory didn't do that.
I have found that those plastic switches are cheaply built and tend to fail rather quickly. I use a switch for 1992 Volvo 940 manufactured by Import Direct no.18-1710 and sold by O'reilly for around $18.00.
That is a better switch. I just grabbed the first one I saw.
I just looked at the price. If I would have known it was so cheep I would of got this one. I thought it was much more expensive. I just looked at the LED lamps for the dash @ 6 for fifty bucks,what a deal!
Volvo 240 brake switch. 
And above that, off-switch for cruise control.
I have much experience with the Volvo Amazon with defect and leaking brake light switches in the brake line so converting the Pantera to a pedal switch was mandatory for me.

Better late then never.
Maybe it's the name, Pantera-Electronics?
Maybe he should change it to Jon's Pantera Stuff and he should send out hand fliers and staple them to telephone poles?
How people discover things, not just here, is a curious procedure.
I see this as somewhat of a disconnect where there is an entire contingent of Pantera owners who just think that MSD knows their cars better? How did you people come to that decision?
It just doesn't show Pantera owners as part of the intelligentsia. It just doesn't bode well as showing that you even have a clue to understanding your car in the slightest.
Pantera Doug,
Please give the new kids on the black a break. They are still the FNG's. It takes time to learn all that is Pantera. And after 10 years I'm included with that group. And we need more of them. I'm not sure who to quote here, Yoda or the Kung Fo master. Not kind be but be kind. We are one big happy family!
And I'm sure it's all in fun, but social media doesn't show how you are really meaning it.
Well perhaps I'm not as diplomatic as I could be but I don't have anything to sell.
The MSD 6a's are so common on the Panteras that Pantera-Electronics design commity decided to make the footprint of their Ignition Controller the exact size so there would be no apparent scars remaining from replacing them.
I wonder if the vote was like 6-5 or if it was unanimous?
Now THAT's diplomatic. 
My Pantera has flaunted convention with a random pro-comp box. It is red like an msd so that is worth something!!

Red is so yesterday! 
What the heck are you guys talking about ?
Donnie, first off pay no attention to pantera Doug as his level of medication very often needs to be reevaluated and adjusted. His doctor is not as good as mine.
The rest of the discussion is about an MSD ignition box, all of which are red.
You need to pay attention to keep up with this group, Donnie. 😉

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but the voices in my head say I do?
