Ignition switch help please

Currently my keyed ignition switch is located on the crap steering column installed by previous owner.
The old ignition switch is still mounted to the instrument bezel, but no wires are connected.
I want to go back to the ignition switch on the dash, not on the steering column.

Here is a pic of the back of the switch, I see where the battery wire is connected, where the ground is connected, and where the ignition wire is connected, and the accessory wire connects to the switch.

My question is what wire goes to the top most terminal, looks like "SOL" imprinted underneath the connector ??

That would be the solenoid terminal.

I have looked everywhere, I can't find the connector "pigtail, that plugs into the original in dash ignition switch. It seems that the 67-79 C-10 pigtail is widely available, but I can't find one for 64-66.
Does anyone know who sells or reproduces this connector ??

Surf through the ads in the for sale section. There are a few threads where folks are parting trucks.

If you can't find a connector there's no reason why you can't use some insulated female spade terminals to connect the wires. Not pretty but perfectly safe and secure.
