Discovered that switch contacts do not match; triple connector will not fit replacement switch. Old switch has a 522 on casting and the contacts do match the 1959 wiring diagram. Traced new switch, when on: BAT connects to IGN-1/ACC; START connects to IGN-2. Anybody experienced this problem? Any ideas on whether and how to use? Thanks! see similar new switch contacts: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Ignitio...ries&hash=item43d24f5eac&vxp=mtr
