62 Ignition Switch "Mounting"

[Stephen G.]

I pulled my ignition switch and engine harness last week for repair & I forgot to take a picture FIRST.
I can't remember how to position the switch since it does not have a detent to fix it exactly in place.

I believe the that key went in with the cuts facing down. I thought that the ACCY terminal was up top (14G Pink) but then the IGN (18G Pink) is positioned to the inside of the car and the 18G Pink seems too short.

A picture would be great.

Thanks

There is a picture of a switch on Page 5 of the Owners Guide. The picture is of another year switch, but the Lock, Off, On, and Start positions are correct.

Steve here's a rear and front view of my '59 switch, and a not so good pic of the '62 that switch was going in.

The pink is always appearing to be too short(as in my pic), and if you do what I did once, putting it on the wrong terminal, your gas gauge and temp gauge won't work, or something like that. I recall it was confusing to me too.
