My 75 is finally home and seems to be running fine with still a bunch of body and suspension work to do. It was hard to start but now it starts after about three tries. But sometimes it won't turn over at all. Not a battery problem and it seems if I pull the key a little while starting it will catch. Is this a starter issue or ignition switch? My preference would be the cheapest of the two...
Thanks, Rick |

Sounds like an ignition switch issue, probably the electric portion. They seem to crack, making them temperamental. Possibly the mechanical part. There is a prong that gets twisted backward and won't turn the electric part far enough.
Good luck! |

changed the switch, that was the problem. Lot of time for a novice to change, especially for a $5.00 part, but since I don't count my labor a pretty good investment!
Thanks guys, Rick |
