Ignition switch
Looking for suggestions on an ignition switch for my 68 C-10. The original I have is a little wonky, and after purchasing a non-original, I couldn't get it to work at all when installed. thank you!

Re: Ignition switch
We need more to go on. Is the replacement switch a new one?
No power whatsoever in ACC, Ignition, or Start? Do battery, (constant power), items work? Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, flashers, etc? |

Re: Ignition switch
The original switch works, but occasionally there does not seem to be electrical contact through it. The new one I bought installs into the housing, but will not turn with the key - I'd like to find an original ideally to replace mine - if that helps (with the supplied key) it seems to be junk from the get go..

Re: Ignition switch
OK, sorry, you're looking for a different switch. The few that I have bought in the past I always get from my local AutoZone/Checker/O'Reilly, etc.
Not sure if there are any NOS out there or even Delcos. |

Re: Ignition switch
It may be the contacts inside are dirty or have been arcing and need polished. The switches aren't too difficult to tear apart and clean up. I have had issues with repops (See link below)
You might send a PM to Classic Bowties here and see if he has a good used one. Mel is local in Portland. Also Ram light truck wrecking had one last winter. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=818861 Good luck neighbor!
