    Hey guys, I am in the process of installing a new wiring harness in my T. I have a new ignition switch that I bought a year ago and seem to have lost the directions. The terminals are marked 1,2,and 3. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. 20200418_143025.jpg

    I used a 4 wire in the 34. Bought it at autozone for less than 20 bucks. If yours won't fill the bill head that way. I think this is what you are looking for on yours, but I would put an OHM meter on it to be sure. 3wire.PNG

    Thanks! I googled it and the diagram for an MG ignition switch came up. Didn't want to trust a Lucas diagram... I am trying to keep everything super simple.

    Should be fine, if you are running a points style ignition, I would opt for a 4 wire to get an accessory contact. I don't know if I will ever use it, but it is there if I want it.

    I ended up using an old ignition switch from a '62 Studebaker Lark that I had in my junk drawer. Everything is clearly marked and will be much easier to wire up. Thanks for the advice guys. 20200418_161203.jpg
