JUMP on this immediately:

Now while you are waiting for the cord to arrive get an Ohm meter and test the camera wiring.
With the lens board removed the left contact on the front standard should make contact with the rear terminal on the body socket, the right contact on the front standard should make contact with the center terminal on the body socket. These are your flash sync connectors.
The sync cords go bad due to corrosion in the
Y. Cutting the cord just before the Y you will find a shield (braided copper), a red wire, and a black wire. The red wire and shield can be connected to any type of sync contact you desire.
and if the cord is good all you need is a Household to your flash's sync connector adapter which will be easier and faster to get as B&H or Adorama will most likely have something in stock.
