A 1981 Camaro starter should only have two wires. One cable directly from the battery and one purple wire directly from the ignition switch.
You got me on that one.........maybe a locksmith if you have another key you don't need to change cylinder, you might be able to get old piece out with a thin coping saw blade, slide it in along side of broken key twist and pull

I got it. It was the brake light switch. No answers need now, thanks.
I just today, 11/25/2005, changed an ignition switch on a 1981 Ford F150 that has only 63,000 miles. It took less than 2 minutes. Under the ignition switch there is a small 1/8" hole that has a pin in it. It is spring loaded. Turn the ignition almost to the start position and depress the pin into the column. Pull the ignition switch straight out. Look down into the cavity where the switch came out and notice the 3/32" channel that is in the 2:00 position on the cavity. Make sure to line up the new switch so that the square male channel slids into the female walls inside the column. Just slide the new switch in fully and it will snap into place when the spring loaded pin hits the sweet spot. No problems with the starting of the engine and you are ready to go.

Switch V was created in 1981.
There are vacuum lines in your ignition switch. One of them is leaking or had been pulled loose. If the former is the problem, replace the vacuum line.
