Default Help finding a part please. (ignition Switch)

hey everybody,
I have a 68 mustang that has not been able to start recently. I believe I have narriwed the problem down to the ignition switch, sort of. It's actually the wiring pigtail on the back of the ignition switch. The problem is I can't find a wiring pigtail anywhere without the ignition switch. Here's what I'm talking about.

If I have to, I'll shell out the 50 bucks just cause I want to get this thing running soon, but not if I don't have to.
If anyone can help me out here it would be greatly appreciated, even better if you know a store where I can pick one up.

But anyways, thanks.

hey, thanks for the info, never seen that catalogue before. Unfortunately it doesn't have just the pigtail (unless I read something wrong.)and for some reason the one for a 68' in that catalogue is the only one that doesn't come with one.

Are there any junk yards in your area?

Sorry to bump this again,
After hours of searching, I still can't find this part so I think I'm just gonna cave and buy the whole switch with the wiring. I just want to get this thing running because my buddies are comin home from Parris Island next week. They're only back for 10 days and one of there requests was for me to fix the stang so we can cruise around like we used to in high school, Kind of a last Oorah type deal. Well thanks for the feedback anyways, I'll wait another day to see if any new info comes up before I buy it.

I had the same issue, bit the bullet and paid the $50. If I understand correctly, you can also change over to a 67 switch... Not positive though, and I don't know how much of a hassle it'll be.

Ya, I guess thats what I'll do, but what are the advantages of a 67 switch as opposed to my current one?
