ignition starting problem

Hope your feeling better Steve. I haven't had any appendix problems and from what I've heard it's not fun.

That sounds like a good plan Steve. If it don't start by doing that try wiggling wires around here and there, especially the ones that pass through the firewall bulkhead connector because the bulkhead was notorious for bad connections. If it then starts you have a bad connection somewhere but by your original description it sure sounds like just a bad key switch. Sorry I told you it was a breeze to change the key switch. I thought yours had the key in the dash like my 68 Cuda so that's why I said changing it was a breeze.
