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

[B Hower]

I have been running a 1969 F-150 switch since about 2005. It fits in ok. It has no steering lock feature. I have not made an assembly lock so the thing can rotate if too much pressure put into starting position......... but will rotate back. Not a major problem for a Red Neck.

  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?

  Jim
