That is correct, my mistake

You have to remember that there were many other headlight switches in 
production at the same time and that the switch is an assembly made up of a 
number of different parts. It may have been that a rating for one part 
(e.g. dimmer winding) was ok for the Monza but was exceeded for the Spyder 
and required a different part *already in inventory* (say for a Pontiac) 
but which cost a penny more. Changing the line was a matter of pulling the 
dimmer from a different bin and changing the part number. Perhaps someone 
would know if there was a price difference between the -122 and -123.

Again, without seeing the assembly drawing which may still be somewhere in 
Anderson, I cannot say exactly what the difference is, just that there is a 
difference and  apparently is not in the connections or mount.
