1961 Ignition Switch Wiring
I stupidly just took pictures as I took the electrical apart. I really should have labelled each wire or connector. Some of my pics aren't usable (and ever since I upgraded to Android 6.0 I've had weird issues).
Pictured is a Danchuk switch that was in my car and worked fine as well the new Lectric Limited VMA5861 harness. Can someone post a really good pic or diagram for a '61? I have the pdf for the 1960 switch but there isn't a matching connector in the harness.

The connector, a 3 prong one is wrapped in black tape and is beige color..

Awesome - it's sitting in the engine compartment with part of it shoved thru the firewall. What I'm going to do is start a single thread and put all of my experiences in it. I am interested in where you got these pictures because I'd like to get the entire set.
I'm going to try to put this all in one new post.

Here is a couple of pics from my 61.
I did an article on dash R & R with pictures if you can use it.

I cleaned up a document I had done after we rewired our '60. It's fairly complete. The pics were part of that document.
I don't know how much might be different for the '61 but I imagine they are similar.
The new PDF is attached.
Hope it is useful. BTW if you (or any other viewers) find anything I may have mislabeled, please let me know so that I can correct it.
