Het Gene, while driving this evening my ignition switch shorted out or something, but I found myself on the side of the road dead. When turning the key (which I have to jiggle anyway)I got no reading from the ameter guage. So with a flaslight between my teeth I took apart the ignition switch, cleaned what I could, reassembled and got running. Obviously I want to replace the switch, the only one from the Filling Station is a universal switch No. RW356, will that work?
While messing around in the dark I unhooked the wires from two poles and removed the 2 small screws to get inside the switch, the shielded wire from the coil stayed with the pole plate that the 2 screws held to the back of the switch and I was unable to see how that shielded wire disconnected from the pole plate, can you enlighten me...again. I'm 99% certain my ignition switch is not original, the key has no markings to show it's a Chevy , it's just says ILCO (Independant lock Co.) with #NF77 on the other side. I just want to buy a switch I can connect the proper way from the diagram you sent me. Any suggestions?
