Igniton Switch

I need an ignition switch for my truck and the only thing I could find is this Beck Arnley Ford Courier switch. Does any one know if it will work with the REPU wiring?

my truck is a '75

Unknown, however...:

...you may want to research/look for "first generation" KIA (yes, you're reading correctly...) ones, (whatever they called that midget 4x4).

Once upon a time, I was informed that they (Rio?) used the same ignition switch --only the key would be 'wrong', of course-- if this rumor proves correct...

(Is that the same as the Geo 'tracker'???)

Anyhow, it was all about the first run, 'back when'; something to do with how the early KIA's used to come off the same line as some Mazda's...(?!?)

FWIW--.

Worth remembering...:

Caig/Cramoline (or similar) 'De-OX-It' type electronics contact cleaner (in the teensy spray can) can be your best friend when working on aged connections. Just a wee tiny dab can make all the difference... Available through electronics repair specialty supply places--.

Remember to clean all ground connects down to bare metal, too!
