1970 Ignition switch help
The ignition switch found inside the steering column has giving up the ghost. It came apart. To my amazment I find the part is obsolete and not reproduced. (Because like many 70 parts, they only made them one year). I can get a 71-73 ignition switch however, it doesn't have the same connector. I am thinking of swapping out my connector with the 71-73 connector. Has anyone else gone through this? if so, could you give me any insight as to what you did? Thanks. BTW, if anyone has a parts car they are currently selling parts I'd be interested in the ignition switch and a nice fan shroud? 351 W 2V.

I don't believe the 71-73 switches are a mirror image. I cut and spliced my old connector onto a new later model switch. Just stagger your splices so it doesn't make a big lump. Here's some additional info.

If you are lucky, West Coat Cougars might have a used D0AZ-11572-A.

Nope. Just the usual Drake items.
