Emergency help

My 1985 Mazda RX7 ignition switch broke at a rest area. The plastic insides fell apart. It is a stock 12a carbureted RX7. If someone could pm me on how to temporarily hot wire it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

you need to find the big 12V power wire on the ignition switch, and connect it with the big wire that goes to the "on" or "run" or "II" terminal on the switch.

if you're really lazy the starter will run if you hook the 12v to the starter wire. its labeled start i think.
