Need some ignition advice

I've finally gotten my 85.5 running but the only other issues I'm having now is my instrument cluster is hit or mis as far as working. I messed with the connections with no luck but now found out that it seems to be related to the key turning in the ignition!?!? Does this make sense to anyone ?

Ignition switches are a known source of such problems.

I was looking into replacing it but it's showing two different parts of the switch not sure which to get.

Usually on 85.5 & up, this is the faulty ignition switch-$108:

On early 944 & 924S -cheap $5
