My car currently just has a toggle switch in place of the key. I purchased the on/off plate, switch plate ring and the re-pop switch and cable. What else do I need to convert this? I have the Les Andrews book, but left out at work over the long weekend.

Thanks!

You said you have a pop-out switch and cable to install. Before installing it you should check out the ignition wiring against the original wiring diagram before you doing it.

which repop switch did you get? if you got the $13 or so one with the 2 screw terminals sticking straight off the back id return it and get the fake poppot nurex one thats like $35...

This is what I got, along with the on/off plate and the ring to hold that in place.
