it should be the 2 wire. I broke the 3 wire one during the 305 swap and that's the bastard that's $40 to replace

I only did that ignore feature with one guy on here... and I never checked on his posts, either. That's a memory for the old-timers here, huh?
Yeah it should be two wires.
Keep in mind too that it's not a real safety switch... it's more of safety as in "so your car doesn't die when you're merging onto a highway".
Go for a junkyard one!
And actually, you don't need it... I drove for years with mine disconnected. Why? Well when I put in my oil pressure and water temp gauges in my nifty new-for-1997 dual gauge pod, I thought the oil pressure safety switch was the gauge sensor. Yep, I unhooked/replaced the wrong one.
So a few years later when I realized I made a mistake, I removed and unhooked the correct gauge sensor, and hooked back in the "safety switch".
As long as your fuel pump relay's good, you're OK without GM's "safety switch".
