Ignition switch plug

[Dixon]

I am sure this was asked a few years ago but I'm tossing it out again. The Blue Whale quit on me today. Lost power to anything going through the ignition switch. To make a long story short power is not getting through the plug into the ignition switch. Does anyone have a plug and enough attached wire to splice to hanging around in a parts car they would care to sell? I could pig-tail to the switch but I'd rather not. Ours is a 1965 Newport wagon. Thanks all. Happy motoring.

Thanks Charge. The actual problem was right at the switch plug. Power going in but not consistent coming out to the switch. I got that wire freed, cleaned it up, put it back on and she fired right up. However (always right?) the switch felt like it was "warming" a bit in my hand as she sat idling. The switch may be the actual culprit. I've ordered a new one. We'll see. Can't hurt in any event. Thanks again.
