    Got a original switch I’m working on. Yes I know I can buy new but I’m not after that. Just wanting to learn about the wiring paths. Wondering if anyone has one like this and how she’s wired? image-2022-04-01-19:34:26-630.jpg

    Thank you. I’m also researching the original key switch. There was no motor in the car when I got it. But this steel tune that runs from the back of the key into the engine bay with a round cup at the end and a single wire inside. Kinda wanna learn more why this was done like this or what exactly was the reason

    The armored conduit made the car "theft-proof" .
