OK thanks to suggestions from some listmembers and a well deserved smack on the back of the head from Scott I have the new ignition switch in and and all my connections cleaned up at the starter.  The van is starting fine now.

Being that there was no video for this on YouTube there is one now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgAxneoWejI  . Please excuse the poor quailty, it was done this morning at 7 AM when it was still a bit dark and I had to use a small digital camera.

Thanks,
Bryan
