I don't have a wiring diagram for 1968 handy. But for 1970, they show a Blu/Yel wire coming off of fuse #3 and running up to the switch. From the switch there are two Yel wires - one runs to the transmission (4th gear limiter) and the other Yel runs to the indicator light.

BTW, in that diagram they show two "Overdrive Switches". The second on is actually the 4th gear limiter on top of the transmission. From the limiter switch it's a red wire to the solenoid.
