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

What switch did u order.. there are a few different designs of non pop out. I start out by loosening the speedo cable bracket on the firewall and pivoting it out of the way or just remove it. Then remove the dash screws , un screw the speedo cable from the head may give u more pull. I like the nurex fake pop out type switch they are of good quality.
The wires from the armored cable just screw to the back of the switch... one thing to look out for is to be sure the switch lugs/ screws or the wiring ends to not touch the metal gas tank when reinstalling. If they do ya car wont start or may have an int issue. I always insulate that area with electrical tape and a piece of an old tire tube..

As I do not have a catalog from AZ Model A, I went by Sammy's recommendation.
He had a less expensive switch with one key.
It is the switch with 2 keys which I believe is the A-11575-FS in Bert's catalog.
I will insulate as you mentioned.
Thank for you reply.
