Headlight switch replacement

Now that all of the underhood issues have been figured out and planned for repair, I found out that the headlight switch/dimmer assembly has issues. The dash light dimmer rheostat has become intermittent (mostly not working) so I need to replace the whole assembly.

What is the correct part number for this and is it available from regular parts stores? I found this one
Amazon Amazon
and it seems right.
Just wanted to check with the experts on here before I ordered it.
Thanks all, y'all are indispensable.

EDIT: for the 1970 Cutlass

Which vehicle is this for? The part description has me confused. I'm not familiar with vehicles that have all those functions attached to the headlight switch.
.

Turn Signal, Headlight, Windshield Wiper and Windshield Washer Switch with Lever

Sorry for the 1970 Cutlass. That is the one on which I am focused at least for the foreseeable future haha

AC Delco D1506A is the part# I went with on my '72 - presume essentially same as the Amazon (which may simply be the most current p/n for it) . Ebay tends to have many for sale at any given time as well.

To my knowledge though, Amazon's description is off as to what it controls - i.e. I recall it only controls headlights / park lights, dash dimmer and dome-light activation

Yeah, I know the description is wrong. Typical of some of the ACDelco descriptions. The D1506A and the D6252D look identical, though. I ordered. Thanks!

As an aside, look at this part description LOL
