And if you don't have a VOM (Volt-Ohm Meter), pick one up off Amazon. Any meter will do and don't spend more than $25. |

I have a few of them, in fact one of them is a clamp meter that you recommended to me a few years ago

If you end up replacing the ignition switch, with an identical new one, there are three porcelain insulators between the terminals. The one that would normally be pointed directly down at the 6 o'clock position will likely interfere with the lip of the dashboard and it must be ground down in order to fit. Other than that, an ignition switch change out is about a fifteen minute job. Getting that little bezel off is the hardest part, but if you look at the two slots you can see how you would fashion a little makeshift tool to unscrew it.

Amazing memory you have there!!! Good info about the interference, I will be looking out for it. The one that is in there is a Standard US14 an has no interference. The one I picked up is the NAPA equivalent and looks exactly the same. Last night I ordered another US14 from eBay. I already have the bezel off and the switch is hanging waiting for me to replace it, I did notice when I was troubleshooting that the small MSD red wire terminal was not tight, I could easily move it with my hand, but I dont think it was loose enough to cause the car just shutting off problem. I am chalking that up to coincidence,.
I just went and checked out the old switch that is still in the car, you were right on the money, that insulator is ground down a lot!!! I will do the exact same to the new one and the one from, eBay when it arrives next week.
Thank you for the heads up!
