Re: ignition switch repair
Haven't installed it yet but it seems to work fine. The issue was it had no continuity between the switch and the distributo./r The switch housing is a die cast type, in order to remove the back I have to grind the crimps off the housing (die cast will not bend). Not sure if this is an OEM switch or not but the insulation on the wire inside the wound metal sheath was Badly deteriorated, bare in a lot of spots. The wire contact at the coil contact end of the switch was corroded as well.
With a bit of prying I was able to remove both ends of the metal sheath and replace the wire. I had some new OEM looking wire with the braided insulation, not that any one will see it but I like originality when I can. Will install the distributor this weekend .
