What do 'ya think....

For the past few months I've been struggling w/an intermittent fault w/the ign switch. Some times it will start right up.... other times I'm forced to use my remote start switch.

Since it will spin right over sometimes by itself & always w/the remote switch, I concluded the switch on the column base was going kaput. I went to my GM guy & he couldn't find me the correct switch for my 74, so I picked one up @ the 'zone' & installed it last night....

Would you believe w/my incredible luck, it still does the same crap. So I swapped the GM part back on w/no improvement.... yet when both are hooked up the trucks starts on the first try w/the remote.

The only thing I didn't like was after swapping to the new part the ign lock itself started getting much harder to turn (if there's no switch @ the bottom, the lock tumbler rotates freely).

Any diagnosis out there?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
