Broken Ignition Cylinder

I hopped into my 1980 99GLi this morning to go to work, turned the key, and the engine started and immediately stalled. It's been doing that lately, so I just turned the key to "off" and then back to "start". When I did that, something snapped and now the key cylinder just spins back and forth without actually doing anything electrical.
It feels like the cylinder itself is ok (it spins back and forth and the key comes out normally), so I'm guessing the connection to the wiring underneath is broken. I've never opened that up, so I'm unfamiliar with what I'll find there. Any advice as to what may have broken? Any advice as to where to get replacement parts?
Thanks in advance
