I have a '23 Superior 4 door sedan that has been sitting around for about a year while I worked on a radiator issue. Prior to resting in its dark lonely storage shed, it was having no starting problems. It still has its original coil and it appears most of the wiring is original. This spring I got the radiator issue fixed (I hope) and tried to start the car and found I had no spark to the plugs. I also tried getting spark from the cap to the coil's side mounted attach point.. Still no spark. I then checked the ignition switch per the repair manual. With the key on I was getting no draw on the Ammeter; however with the ignition wire touching the switch's battery terminal I got a 10 amp draw on the meter. Per the manual this would indicate an open circuit in the ignition switch.

Does anyone have experience opening up the switches to self repair or is there a source for a new or rebuilt switch anyone knows of?

Any help would be appreciated.

For a better response to your question, you might want to post in the 1912-1928 forum instead of here in the Chat Suggestions forum.
