Then remove the wires (one at a time) from the round connector (noting the terminal numbers) and put them on the corresponding terminals on the new rectangular switch. Use shrink sleeving or another insulating method on each terminal. .......I believe the older Fiat rectangular switch contacts operate differently than the round switch contacts because the rectangular switch works with a separate hazard flasher. The round switch shares a single flasher for signal lights and hazard lights.
Going wire to wire may well work. Good recc, spider.

You're correct about the separate flashers on the early 70's; my 72 had two flashers, for hazard and turns, hence two leads coming off the switch.

Nice circuit sketch, spider. Wish I could be half as clear.....
