I am looking for a replacement EF switch. I didn't have any luck with various sources. Any suppliers for this switch?

This is not a part you want to need. The original GM part number was GM #3886910. However, it was discontinued without supercession in March, 1975. It was also used on 1966 full size Chevrolet passenger cars, but on no other models or years. That fact does not "bode well" for interest on the part of reproduction manufacturers. However, it might still be available in the reproduction/replacement market somewhere.

Walter,

The 1966 Pass. & Corvette hazard flasher switch is GM part number 3886910 (in Gr. 2.575) as per my 1966 Chevrolet parts catalog (effective Oct. 1965). Apparently there were no other applications for the 3886910 switch except for the 1966 Corvair as shown in my other parts catalogs.

Isn't the hazard switch located in the upper steering column assembly? I can't really remember. I finished restoring my 66 Corvette back in 1995.

If so, I do have a 1966 Chevrolet passenger car steering column somewhere in my garage attic that I removed from a 1966 Chevrolet back in the 1980's.

I now see where the optional hazard switch is located (1966 Corvette Assembly Manual, UPC V74, sheet A1). I do not have one.

I do not know if this matches up, but this is up for auction. Is this the same as a Corvette?

The 1966 Chevelle used hazard switch # 3886911 as per my 1967 Corvair-Chevy II-Chevelle-Camaro parts catalog (effective 1966) but I would think that the 3886910 switch must be almost the same.

Re: Emergency Flasher Switch

looks like the one in my 66 coupe..(I also have a spare from
a 66.)

Re: Emergency Flasher Switch

Hum, I pulled one off a '66 scrap yard Cadillac about a year ago. Other than the specific steering column harness connector and the way the module was mounted in the cockpit, it was identical to Signal Stat assy used by Chevy...

Didn't New York state 'renegade' back then requiring all cars offered for sale after XX/XX/YYYY to be equipped with emergency hazard flashers?

Yes, they did - '66 cars had to have them. They did the same thing a few years later, requiring all cars to have rear window defoggers.
