Help! Ignition switch pigtail

Need a pigtail off a 73 truck ignition as mine had a bad connection and melted. Wreckers don't seem to have much. Is there a part # anyone knows of?

As for ignition I mean key lock switch..

LMC carries a pigtail, but I don't know if it covers '73 or not. There online catalog will say.

EDIT: Yep, it says 73-76. You should be good. Also, if Rock Auto has it, it would probably be cheaper. You'll just want to make sure that the replacement pigtail has the same gauge wires as the original; this is not always the case with replacement connectors (and heavy current goes through this switch).

How many more suggestions do you need?

1) I gave you the exact line item out of LMC
2) pidaster got one at the store, which means you go to the desk and they look it up and bring it to you, or order it for you
3) I also suggested you look it up on Rock Auto's website; they'll have it from the same manufacturer that LMC gets it from

You take it from here.

Problem is everything else suggested is minimum 3 weeks away. Up in Canada there's no Rock auto. Hoping there was an Ac Delco # or something I could get today as my parts guys couldn't find anything. That's my issue.

Ah, sorry; didn't realize you weren't in the states. Glad to hear you got it worked out.
