That 6 cyl switch view of yours shows a START on it. It appears to have the same functions as the V8 one. All you would have to do is add a 2nd green wire correct? My switch is more like the 6 cylinder switch but the wireing harness has 2 green wires coming off the IGN2 connector.

My new switch that I got from classic prts as and Original switch is more like that 6 cyl switch. It has a Lock, OFF, ON, and START positions. So 4 positions.
