[DeTomaso] Electrical Gremlins Revisited

[Art Stephens]

     Apparently replacing my junction block did not solve my intermittent no start problem.  I believe a couple people suggested it may be my ignition switch.  In trying to remove the switch from my totaled car,  (to be used on the new car),  I see it is not so simple.  I seem to remember some drilling must be done to the rivet,  or whatever it is,  that is holding the switch together on the column?  Before I start drilling away,  I'd like to make sure that is the proper way to remove the switch?  The idiosyncrasy of the old switch was that the key could be difficult to remove on occasion,  but other than that,  it worked fine.  I could just swap the columns in the two cars,  but then I'll have to swap the turn signal switch since the one in the totaled car was damaged.  Also,  can these switches be repaired?   

Thanks,
Art
