"EARLY" Early Bronco ignition switch

[Bully Bob]

1966 EB Roadster.., (probably built late '65 or early '66)

A slight issue with my switch, lead me to inspect the back of my switch (under dash).

Unlike the replacment switches, (every supplier & autoparts I've checked) mine is "hard-wired in".

Meaning it doesn't have the typical  3 spade type male/female connectors around the long center

pole connector.

Mine has 3 wires coming out the side of the black housing. I see where one goes to a small round

male/female plug but, I can't see if the other two wires have a plug to make removal/re-install easy.

I know where these wires ultimately connect (accessory, on, & start).., My QUESTION is;

Has anyone out there seen this switch in their rig..?  Really curious..!!

Wondering if someone else has run into this..?

I know I can cut the wires & install female spade connectors if it comes to that. However that will req.

continuity testing to find which pin is which.

BTW.., I couldn't find this switch while looking at older ford cars-n-trucks as well

yo BOB,

Here is one ign sw w/***** terminals

I recall that wired type switch on an old Galaxy, but don't know if it was OEM (Prob Not OEM).

Here are the Ford instructions on ign sw including R&R, continuity testing (Proof) - can use to determine wire applicability

Thanks Al.., I saw these (above) on many websites. I think they were early '60's & '50's year model Fords.

I can make the ones for sale for '66-'77 EB work.., (spring loaded twist-out from behind)

Mine twists out as well. Everything is the same except the way the wires connect.

The diagram for testing poles will likely come in handy..!

Thanks..,
