1965 Ignition Switch Needed
You guys always come through....... I need an ignition switch for a 1965. It can be new, or used but in good shape. Hasn't anyone come up with a Plan B workaround for this switch...... similar model with same connector pattern on back that we can modify to fit? Any help much appreciated.

Update, and hopefully I can now be of assistance to the next guy! 1965 ignition switches are not to be found. I finally ordered a 67 switch, 67 lock cylinder and 67 trim nut for the front of the dash. Not sure if any of these parts are interchangeable with 65. The pin connectors are correct (no splicing) and with five connectors I think the chance of the switch separating from the wiring harness is near zero. The 67 switch is round and the 65 dash opening has a notch.... the notch needs to be ground off so the switch passes through the opening cleanly (obvious when you see it, and I was able to grind it down with a Dremmel). Then the switch passed through the opening and butted up to the dash perfectly and I tightened down the front trim nut. Done! ...... and it works. Unless your NCRS you'd never know.
