Wiring for ignition switch

When I got my '73 F100, there wasn't a key available for the truck. I couldn't remove the lock cylinder since it has to be put in the accessory position, so I just bought another ignition switch (with lock cylinder in it) from a mid-70's truck.

The new ignition switch I have has a different wiring pattern on the back - but the terminals are labelled: ACC, P1, ST, BAT, P2, I1. The old ignition switch also had 6 terminals. Does anyone have a diagram so I can put blade-type terminals on my wires to connect them to the new switch?

thanks for any help

Mark

I would go to the junk yard & get the right switch & door lock cylinders.

You can get wiring diagrams at the online store here. I agree with Mark tho.
