(btoh sided of the main hot pin) so now I have two pieces and the red lead pin all separate. I had a feeling it was going to happen because it showed signs of burning/melting. At some point long ago when my dad owned this car something made that main wire get hot and start this damage. is that connector or column side piece available? should I just cut both ends off and look for a replace connector of some sort with appropriate amount of connections? open to all suggestions. thanks

If you need the column end you can buy a new ignition switch and replace the whole piece. I believe the connector is available separate but I can`t remember where I have seen them.

If you need the column end you can buy a new ignition switch and replace the whole piece. I believe the connector is available separate but I can`t remember where I have seen them. Better to have a new ignition switch, especially if in the past some overheat/semi-melting action took place. If so, it's a matter of time before the switch itself takes a dump. If it's the dash side of the harness connector, a couple of options: 1) the right (and most expensive) way; get a new harness. 2) semi-econo way: used harness from JY off 73 (or 71-74 B-Body) - as usual, YMMV as far as interchangeability. 3) econo way: get harness connector cut off from JY vehicle and splice, solder, heat-shrink tubing wrap each wire on JY connector to existing harness in car. 4) Super-econo way: trim off smaller half of plastic on existing broken connector, heat shrink tubing on wires with terminals that are "uncontained" up to just short of where they are buried in column connector, and figure out some means of holding them in the connector when connected.
