Look close at the connectors and check the orientation into the switch. One has a tab that goes under the other one. I just did my 69 and can't tell you. Old age has it's problems.

Std vs T&T Strg Columns
One thing that was not mentioned. Standard (non-adjustable) columns and T&T columns operate their respective ignition switches in opposite directions. So there are two distinct ignition switches that bolt onto the top of the steering column jacket. There is only one vehicle wiring harness. So that wiring harness must be twisted 180 degrees if you are changing from one type steering column to the other.
