Okay, then the hi/lo relay either is bad or is not getting energized. 
On a 68 that is a med size silver box way up under the dash to the 
left side of the steering column. I think it's a brown wire that runs 
from the TS lever to that box to make it click over to the other 
beams. See if that wire is there. I believe grounding that terminal 
causes the relay to change over.

The 68-9 belts were slightly different from the 70-1. The main 
difference is in the plastic cover over the top connection for the 
shoulder anchor: the early one is a 6-8" white sleeve, while the 
later one is just a small black cover.

I'm sure I have a later one, but I MIGHT have an early one.
