Joe, I'm NOT a fan of that new switch with its push on terminals and I bet you can find a threaded stud type universal ignition switch that looks and wires the same as your old one.
Looks like the old one has its three terminals labeled, BAT IGN and maybe (cant see third one) START???
BAT (that's the switches voltage input) wires to a hot battery voltage source, maybe via a wire to where the big battery cable connects to a starter switch or solenoid input. A test lamp on the wire that connected to BAT on the old switch will show constant hot voltage to ground.
IGN wires to the ignition coils input terminal, and if the switch is turned to ON (first ON position) it gets hot and stays hot
START wires to the starter solenoids small S activation terminal and is hot ONLY when/if the new switch has a spring position labeled START which you have to hold/turn to activate the starter.
You could crimp on some push on terminals to replace the existing terminals and sure it would work (until it corrodes or gets loose) but over time it can cause problems versus the nut and stud type which last a longgggggggggg time.
