The ignition switch on my 76 seems to be sticking when I try and start the car. To get the starter to stop, I have to switch it off and on again.
I took off the wheel. As I was taking off the wiper and turn signal switches, I noticed that they seemed different. Did they change these from earlier cars? I think my 73s are different. Anyone know? TIA. |

"And Bruce Patterson makes another interesting point:
What I've found out since there was only 4100 76's made they're a little different than the rest. To retract the metal steering surround that holds the ignition switch (there is no screws holding it) you insert the key like you are going to remove the tumbler,turning the key unlocks the tab thats holding it on the steering shaft,letting you pull the whole piece off, exposing the switch and the set screw for easy removal and replacement.If you dont turn the key there's no way that assembly will come off the shaft.You may want to include this info on to the tech article. Thanks Bruce Patterson" courtesy from the bird |
