Replacement ignition switch

I have a generic dash mounted ignition switch that needs replacing. I would really like to upgrade to something else. Anyone have any ideas besides the cheapie universal switch?

Re: Replacement ignition switch

I switched to a column switch because it was easier in my scenario, custom EZ Wiring harness came prewired for a GM switch, and my GM Firebird Tilt column had a keyswitch... but if I was using the original hole, I would probably try one of these...
I am partial to ClassicParts.com, but its because they have the best prices and no sales tax for me in California....

I know you dont want universal, but this is all i got for ya...


Foot start



or

Non-Foot Start



Also, for the non-foot start, I have seen people use the 57' Belair ignition label ring that has a "start" position and a run position labeled, which is neat since these trucks usually just had a Run, and then the foot start...

Good Luck
