Subject:IGNITION SWITCH SNAFU
From:JOHN REDDICK
Date:Sat, 15 Feb 2003 20:04:11 -0800

I was driving down the Florida Turnpike today at
65 when the engine died.  I turned the ignition on and
off (still doing 60) and the engine came back to life.
 I wiggled the keys and it did the same thing a few
times.  Engine runs perfect except for this.
      I seem to recall some message traffic about
ignition switches wearing out because of excessive
keyage.  I searched the archives with no luck.
      The switch seems to be the problem.  Any words
of wisdom??? Is the switch difficult to change out.
Will I have to resort to a toggle switch for the
ignition and a momentary swtich for the starter like
my '73???
