I was wondering how you wire a key ignition switch and which wire do I splice into in order to mount the switch under the dash. Because my steering column switch doesn't work bc the accurator rack broke so I just wanna splice into my wires and just get a new steering column next since I can't find one.. pics n comments are more than welcome.. thanks

I would just fix the rack in the column you have , it not that hard.
No reason to cut or mount anything. Just unbolt the switch, (the electrical portion) from the column and use a small screwdriver to move the sliding part to turn it on and off. That way you arent choppin wires and having to replace or repair that later.

Yeah but they don't have an accurator in stock for my model truck and most junk yards don't have a tilt stering column.. idk I search n ask ? That's why I turn to mounting a switch under the dash... easier faster and cheaper

Try www.LMCTruck.com They may have it. Get the catalog. You might need it.

Dorman shows a part number for the rack, and you can usually find a parts store that has it, or can get it in less than a day. The stores had one in stock that fit my '75 tilt column

Replacing the rack is not a fun job if you haven't done it before. Nothing about it is particularly hard. However, you have a lot of parts taken off at the same time and you reach a point where you aren't sure if you will get it all back together. I found several very good how-to articles on the net, with pictures and clear directions.

You need a steering wheel puller and lock plate compressor to get it apart, and you need the lock plate compressor when you put it back together. I bought the wheel puller and made the lock plate remover, but most stores carry both of them since they are common to many vehicles.
