Ignition switch power interruption from run to start
New switch came today. Quite a challenge to install the tumblers as the tumbler retaining clip would move forward and reposition the clip pivot pin in the wrong place.
I ended up removing the chrome cap from the tumbler and tapping it in with a small drift positioned on the clip pivot. This worked and now the ignition circuit does not drop out! The latch pin on this tumbler does not retract fully into the tumbler. Latch pin and spring are both in their correct positions. It's just real tight. Anyway all is well no need for the time off relay. Vroom Vroom! Opening up the original switch now to see what it looks like inside! :)
