Points or electric dist or mag pickup? I don't know much about points, but I would think switched power and leads to the coil would be it. Duraspark 2 has three leads from the dist, and mag pickup has a signal and return lead.

Reax, he want to know how many terminals on the back of an Ignition switch on a 75 truck.

Viper, we just went through this with a 77.

I think it is 5 ...maybe 6 terminals on the 75 switch.

I'll check my book.

You need Motorcraft switch # SW944 if you are trying to determine which one you need.

That switch applies to a certain run of Ford vehicles (Trucks) .

The cut-off is in the either the 77 or 78 Model year.

For instance :
I have a brand new switch here that is in an open bag with one part number on it.....in a Ford box with another part number labeled on it.......and the part itself with the PIN on it ..............................so , the only way to tell for sure what it is... is to look at the FORD part identification number stamped on the part itself.
