Jim Gaspard Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 They show up on e-Bay ocassionally. Also look for one with the key or you will be set back another $25 to have it keyed. Quote
greg g Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Most of the bubble pack stores will sell a universal ignition swith for 15 to 20 bucks with 2 keys. Their only draw back is they lack a turn to the left acc position. Most of these are probably from the Chinese Embassy or Hecho en Mexico. Here a 15 dollar one from speedway motors http://www.speedwaymotors.com/universal-ignition-switch,2368.html Edited July 7, 2009 by greg g Quote
clifford Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 thanks guys, i finally found one a a carquest parts store with a left turn accessory terminal for 18.00. pt #53-27582 in case any one is looking for one. Quote
coW52Dodge Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 My truck had its ignition switch mounted above the original location since that one required a 3/4" hole, not the larger hole of the original switch. The switch was bad so got a replacement cylinder and switch from NAPA and figured I'd put it back in the original location. I was surprised to find the replacement switch didn't come with a bezel. They don't sell those - in fact, nobody seems to. I got a bezel off a complete switch eBay - it coming from a mid 60's Mopar, I am not sure if it is 'period correct' but it certainly looks very good.
