Hey, no problem.

Are you positive the switch is bad? What type of ignition is on the truck? Points or HEI? I wouldn't go buy a new switch until I was 100% positive it was the switch causing the problem, and not the coil wire either A. Touching a 12 volt source, or B. Hooked up to a 12 volt unswitched source by accident.
