[DeTomaso] what are people using for the electrical part of the ignition switch?

[Julian Kift]

The electrical portion is not as uncommon as portrayed, I think Larry Finch had a good supply at a reasonable price.

Hi, all,


So my ignition switch failed and I thought cleaning it up fixed it, but it then failed again


I haven't taken it apart again yet, but am not comfortable reinstalling a switch that leaves the car dead


Symptoms are: starter motor turns over and emergency flashers work, but NOTHING else works-- totally dead electrical system in the RUN position


Larry Stock says these switches are No Longer Available and are ridiculously expensive even rebuilt.


Anyone tried fitting a switch from another car?


Anyone know of a specialized person or company who can reliably repair these?
