68 Ignition Switch wires
Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing the wiring configuration for a 68 in dash ignition swithch? I am converting my 76 in column to and in console switch. I have the wiring diagram for the 76 switch but need to match theses to the 68 switch, colors, functions etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jesse

Thanks Gdaina, do you have what the letters stand for ie, Pink, Purple etc?
Do you have a diagram that states what the different wires actually control like ACC, IGN etc.
Thanks again.

Re: 68 Ignition Switch wires (viperjesse)
hold on...let me get it
Looking at a dash harness right now...forget what I said above...
12 Red
12 Purple
12 Brown
20 Pink w/black stripe
20 Black
12 Purple to the S terminal on the solenoid
12 Red to the Horn Relay (Battery)
12 Brown, I'm guessing....Accessory
20 Pink w/black stripe ignition
20 Black Guessing ground...
Tell you the truth, the schematic is worthless...the ignition switch detail, is spotty, at best.

Thanks GDaina, I hate to be a pain but where do the other colors connect.
I'm replacing my 76 in column with a 68 in dash. I have 7 wires and the 68 switch also takes 7 wires.
On the 68 switch it has marked KEY+, Key-, SOL, ACC, GND, IGN and I think the last one is BAT.
Thanks for your trouble.
