Pulled the switch today
I pulled the ignition switch today thinking I would clean the wiring connected to it, WRONG
About 4 wires connected to the center post and everything else behind the wall sealed up.
No cleaning allowed.

John, I don't know which ignition switch you have, as there are two possibles.
1961/66: The original switch (C3AZ11572A-Auto-Lite SW353) had three connectors.
In 1967, Ford obsoleted this switch, replaced it with another (C7UZ11572A~Auto-Lite/Motorcraft SW583)) that has four connectors for use as a service part replacement.
The C3AZ11572A switch was also used on 1960/64 Passenger Cars, 1965 Falcon/Fairlane, 1965/66 Mustang and 1966 Bronco.
The 1961/66 replacement switch (C7UZ11572A) is correct for 1967 Econolines & 1967/77 Bronco's.
The bezel, ignition cylinder and other ignition switch attaching parts are the same for either switch.

Sorry, John I have no shop manuals or wiring diagrams....and the ones in the parts catalogs are useless.
Since the same 4 connector switch was used in 1967/77 Bronco's, a wiring diagram for one of those can be used.
Dunno if Bronco Graveyard has any or not.

I just Googeled 1966 Ford Ignition switch, then images on the side bar.
This one resembles my switch
The red arrows were there.
This replacement one at Advance Auto looks close too. Advance Auto Parts: Ignition Starter Switch by BWD - Part CS52
Bill, I posted resembles, not is correct, just for you.
I can go back later and take a photo, also can take the nut off the center to expose the wires in the wall.
