Ignition switch replacement
 

I would appreciate any tips on replacing the ignition switch on my early '30. It is not a pop-out switch.
My Model A Ford Mechanics Handbook Vol. I just addresses the pop-out switch.
I ordered a new ignition switch from Sammy at AZ Model A and he told me I would not have to replace my cable.
Is it a pretty short-forward replacement?
I have had my A since '63 and the present switch 'came' with the A.
Thanks in advance,
Randy

If your present ignition cable is in good order, then you should just have to screw that wire, and the coil wire to the new switch. The thing to watch for on repro switches, is sometimes the terminals short out on the gas tank, which then will kill the battery or coil from being on full time. It happened on my 29 Tudor, but luckily I just happened to touch the coil and felt it was warm, so right away I removed the instrument panel and found the switch contact had rubbed a bare spot into the tank. I had to bend the terminals to the side.
