Ignition Switch troubles.

[ScubaSteve]

Hello little back info first.

74 dodge dart.
318/non tilt wheel.

Im looking for a part number or a link too the part for an ignition switch, my problem is, i find everywhere a 6 pin ignition switch, when i need a 5 pin ignition switch. Heres a pic of the original that worked!

I'm pretty sure the 6 pin switch would work with 1 pin unused. It will have a extra black wire on it.

this is the same one i have been finding everywhere. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...=google&utm_campaign=gpla&utm_content=3992462

yep, Ran into this a long time ago. They'll have a black wire poked in the connector where your cars harness connector likely has a orange wire that feeds lighting.
The simplest way to sort it is use a common male/female spade connection on that orange wire and leave their added black wire to dead end in the switch connector.

On my Challenger I just pulled the extra black wire out of the connector and taped it up and out of the way.

Does your switch slip in or screw on. Looks like two tabs on the ign. in the pic

 

[ScubaSteve]

Mine screws in.

That is a special switch for tilt. The one they are selling is a slip in for a standard column

 

[ScubaSteve]

Do you have a part number?

 

[Oldmanmopar]

No I don't. put a want ad in the classifies.

The one in the Advance Auto link is a screw on style. The directions say it fits E-body and A-body. The directions also say that some A-bodies used the extra black ground wire...some did not.
