70 vs 71 column

I bought a '69 Dart from a hillbilly once.

He started it, fired right up & it drove fine.

We went inside his trailer, I gave him the cash & he signed the title over.

I asked him for the keys.......

He says;

"Keys, what keys? Did you see me start it?"

I said no.

He says;

"There are two switches under the dash, let me show you."

He was right.

One for power on & one to engage the starter.

They were household 110v light switches with the tops bent over & screwed to the bottom of the dash frame.

Sometimes people just use what they have, I get it.
