I haven't seen a posting on this list in quite a while, so here's one to break
the silence:

I'm sorting through the bits of PA0935 for the first time in 25+ years, and
need to know which (if either) of the the two ignition switches I have is the
correct one.

Both are Lucas, and marked "PLC2" on the back.

#1 -- FP series key
        window shows "1  2  side"
        "Lucas" stamped into face
        7 wiring connectors on the back:  F2/D/F1  [top];  L/T/A/H  [bottom]

#2 -- MRN series key
        window shows "Off  Side  Head"
        "Lucas" printed on face
        4 connectors on the back:  A  [top]; L/T/H  [bottom]

Comparison with the wiring diagrams in the PA Instruction Manual and Philip
Smith's book show that #1 is more likely correct, though even that one isn't a
perfect match (I don't see an "F2" in the Handbook diagram).  The #2 switch
reminds me of TC, though it doesn't match any of the diagrams in Smith.

Can anybody out there help?


Thanks in advance,
