68 Cutlass Ignition switch connector
68 Cutlass Ignition switch connector
68 Cutlass convertible
My ignition switch was loose, would rotate when turning key, threaded bezel was cracked.
So I bought a new ignition switch assembly and new bezel.
Went to replace today and the connector on switch (7 pin, 3 lock prongs) is melted around the brown wire ACC pin. Surprised it worked actually looks like the plastic kind of held the connection together but the plug is badly damaged and not usable now that I pried it off.
I would like to replace the plastic connector (Bare connector or connector with pigtail I can splice to). Searching I have not found anything that looks like what I need, lot of generic GM but they dont look the same.
Any ideas on vendors?
I guess I could crimp female connectors on each wire and just plug into the switch individually but would rather up correct connector if possible.
Thanks for help

Don't see my connector (Pics attached)
but will call them to see if they have something. Looks like 68 was unique for the 7 pin as web search shows others could not find the connector either.
Looks like the 7 pin was used on Chevelle, El Camino, Cutlass, Camaro etc. but only 68 models, ignition on dash. Key buzzer added in 68 I think so 67 and earlier were different.
Seems weird as the ignition switch assembly itself is widely available and correct (I have a new one from OPGI, exactly the same as old).
Probably have to use individual female connectors to my new switch. Any sources for high quality female spade connectors for auto use? rather than hardware store connectors that I have found are never very good - loose connections etc.
Thanks
Mark
