New to online forums and 914's...

I'm about to replace the ignition switch in my 1974 1.8L.

I've done a little bit of reading online and I think I'm ready to dig in. If anyone wants pictures of something specific or has comments about what I'm doing, please leave a reply.

Right now:
- Starter tested okay
- Safety belt system jumped
- How to instructable from Pelican Parts
- Switch on order from AutoAtlanta

I think I'll get everything taken apart while I wait on parts. I'm also thinking about having new keys made... that's another topic.

Take Care...
