What do the letters on the back of the ignition switch say?

Posted May 11, 200915 yr

I am trying to figure out which prongs on the back of my 1975 280z ignition switch control what. I see that there are some letters on the back of it and they are

B S

A IG

Can someone help??

Is there a female plug that goes into the back of it? I looked around and I dont see a plug that corresponds with the pattern. If there is a plug, could I get a picture of it by chance?

Not a picture of the plug but this comes in handy if you want to check the functionality of the ignition switch itself at the particular key positions:
