I just bought a '74 Chev pickup 4x4 from a rent a space security lot for $50 :). The owner of the lot doesn't have keys for the truck so I removed the ignition tumbler (the right way, I'm not a hack) to access the internals so I could turn it with some pliers. That was driving me nuts trying to grab that piece with the pliers so I decided to be *smart* and drive a socket onto the part I was grabbing with the pliers - it worked ok for a little while then stopped working - now it just turns in circles!!
My questions are - How would I go about wiring in an external ignition and starter switch or an all in one switch where one position would be off, then ignition on, and a momentary start position? How much amperage does the solenoid need at the starter - will I need to wire in a relay? Any way to do it from under the dash?
Thank you very much for any help.
