Panhead Ignition Switch

[56pan]

Hi Everyone,
I am changing my stock ignition switch to an electronic ignition switch. The problem is the stock switch has 5 teminals and the electronic switch has 6 terminals. Has anyone one have a simplified wiring diagram for this switch? I have the service manual with the wiring diagram in it but it's difficult to follow all the wires when I don't use 1'2 the stuff that's in the manual. So, if anyone can help me out wiring this switch I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Bill

i tried to use a 6 lug switch in my 64 one time and the cover would not fit cause the light shroud around the 3 dash light hit the 6th screw. don't know if you'll experience that.

I already found out about the dash cover hitting the switch. I had to grind away the metal seperating the oil and gen lights' Everytime I tightened down the dash nut I would blow a fuse. Took about 2 or 3 times before I figured it out. Thanks for the advice.

I have a diagram I made for my Pan's & I think I cut off the ofending term.. & I do not think I used any jumpers (I think ) . I also used circuit breakers.I will scan it & you can see if its useful to you'all .
I like the electronic switches , they are smooth & no loss of batt. voltage in between switching.

I to have a spare 6 post switch. Can someone tell me the advantages?? Also was comparing the diagram to a '57 version, where is the wire that goes to the generator, excuse my ignorance, it may be staring me in the face, thanks.

Thanks Fourthgear. If you can scan your diagram that would be great. Between you and Bigincher I should be able to figure something out.

Just remember , the color codes are not HD. They are mine, my own made wiring harness. I have another diagram that's some where , that has where I put the circuit breakers. I just haven't had time to look for it .
This one is the one I carrie on the bike.
If you look at the switch , you can see the terminal I cut off , because it got in the way of the dash or dash lights.

This is also of the Electronic ign.& CCI Gen. w/electronic reg. .You can look up your TM for Points.

Its crude ,but works . My other one is laid out better. It has to be in my notes some where.
