Red face ...ok, I need a new Ignition Switch...

Went to start the truck in the Safeway parking lot yesterday...nothing.
Not even a selinoid click.
Crawled all over and under the dang thing.

Ever try to locate and jump the selinoid terminals from under your truck with long tube headers?

I did manage to ark weld a screwdriver shank to one of the primary header tubes.

The switch has been there for so long (30+years) that the key is a worn out toothpick.

Even has blue overspray from when someone painted the interior and the wires are mickey moused together with those twist-on household connectors.

After a long stressful struggle it turns out the positive battery terminal was loose.
Still need a replacement switch but I got the truck home...this time.who makes a good switch?
