Ben,
Let me know if you still need the wiring positions for the ignition switch. If you have the factory wiring diagram, it shows the ignition switch wiring locations - it can just be tough to read the back of the switch to see exactly which connector pin is which. If need be, I can snail mail you a detailed factory wiring diagram (but it sounds like you already have this) and even highlight the ignition switch connections. When I get home and can look at mine, I'll add to this post.

Thanks Kevin.

I do have the wire position diagram, it was part of the rebuild link at mirafiori.com. The "Brown Wire Fix" is also related and comes with a diagram, and I'm planning on doing that as well.

Here are the links in case you don't already have them.

Hi the green and black goes to the number 16 spade on te right side of the switch,which work the fuel pump,have a 75 had the same problem,don,t use a aftermarket switch because there is not enough spades for your 74,stick with the spieva switch.

Giulio,

All the diagrams I can find only show the 5 wires out of the ignition switch but my car has 6 out... Green/Black being the only one I can't find info on. My wiring diagram for the '74 shows it being for the fuel pump but I can't figure out which number it plugs into on the back of the switch...

As for the switch rebuild, I'm not to sure if my switch is bad yet. I have one newer one that I just had a key made for and it seems to in good shape (lights come on when I switch it to ACC). My older one definately has problems.
