Re: [T3] Ignition problems


I'm assuming you want the switch, not the lock cylinder.  Rocky
Mountain Motor Works cataloged those, not too long ago.  Unless it's
totally disastered, it could be taken apart and rebuilt, I did that a
while back after replacing mine.  It's a pretty simple mechanism.  If
you put a relay in the starter circuit, your switch contacts will last
much longer, too.  Details on how to get the lock cylinder and switch
out are in Bentley, tedious, but doable.  I also have a '71 SB, are
you sure the harness plug at the bottom of the column is on the switch
connector contacts?  Had that drop off once tooling down a bumpy road.
One other thing, you have to take the switch plug there apart to get
the contacts back up through the steering column when pulling the
switch, or at least I did.
