Now, given Jim A's words of wisdom, I am back to blaming the ignition switch for my "sudden turning off" problem. While I mentioned I could not get it to switch off by wiggling the switch back and forth, I find I can get it to shut off every time by wiggling in and out parallel with the insertion direction of the key. For example, if I push in on the metal part of the switch surrounding the key, I can get it to shut off. Would anyone have any advice about whether to remove the switch and try to fix it or should I just replace it. In fact, CAN I get a replacement switch easily for a 71? My local mechanic guru/parts supplier tells me that it says in his book that the 71 switch isnt available. Its a shame because otherwise its running better than ever.
