on my brother's 72 we used a EZ harness, was pretty straight forward on which wire is which. Since the wires are marked, we just crimpped on female spade connectors and it works great. Are you needing to know which post on the back of the switch to connect to?

Re: ez wiring key ignition

It's been a while since I did mine but I did the same thing mentioned above, used the female spade connectors. I used a factory wiring diagram and compared that to the EZ diagram, and was able to get mine connected right the first time. If I remember correctly one of terminals on the switch was left unused, as it was one of two that were jumped together internally.

I am drawing a complete blank on the wires used or where they connected. but again, I know having the factory diagram, the ez diagram, and the labeled wires made everything much easier to figure out.
