Does your 71 have the ignition switch in the column or on the dash? If the later, it is simple to swap (especially w/ special collar nut tool) and a new switch is $11. If former, you can find detailed instructions w/ photos on FABO. Saw them a few months ago.

Column. So not easy to swap out. I may check out the detailed instructions you mention, especially if there is photos. Thats what i would need. Lets face it - I really need to change out that switch anyways. I've got half the **** on this car MacGuyverd... but my jerry rig stuff usually works pretty good
