    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Update: I had the afternoon off and decided to try and adjust the ignition switch as stated. That did the trick, thanks for all the info. As I was laying on my back I noticed something. Is there a trim panel that is supposed to be over the passenger side mirror adjustment knob and light?

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Wow, this is super information. Thanks for the US-101 part #, seemed everything I was finding was original NOS parts for about $200. I've ordered the ebay item already this morning! Thanks so much guys. Although the story sounds like a scary ride, I don't think an out of adjustment situation...

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Thank you for the information. I do suspect it's similar if not the same as your 73. I'll definitely check as you suggest. Is it possible to rebuild the switch myself or is it better left to a professional? Any suggestions on professionals for the job? I really appreciate all the great info...

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Thanks! Any suggestions on how to check the wiring in the column without disassembling the column top half? Just simple ohm tests, continuity or is there some other checks I could do?

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Great idea, it's only a 47 year old car. Anyone know a good source for a reliable replacement and I'm assuming the tilt/tele ignition switch is in the same location as a non-tilt switch? Attached to the key tumbler? I've got a manual I can refer to (which will come in handy I'm sure).

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    I hadn't thought of that, but bumping my hand on the steering column wouldn't have any effect on that. The starter is engaging on start up, then after the car has run a minute or two, it's re-engaging. To me that doesn't sound like a bendix issue (but I could be wrong).

    Starter cranks in Run position.

    Hi all, I've been lurking around this site for years, but don't post often. I have a 75 T&C, 440/727, etc. Bone stock except the carburetor. After the long cold winter, I've developed an issue I'm hoping you guys can help me with... I got in her and turned the key to the run position and...

    fuel gauge issue

    I'm one of guys that used tri Starr radiator for my sending unit rebuild! Great job and excellent customer service, even if there is an issue!

    fuel gauge issue

    I read OP's post and he pulled the sending unit wire and the fuel gauge stayed at empty, so it's definitely at the sending unit

    fuel gauge issue

    Look at the ground strap first. Make sure the sending unit is getting a good ground. Then test the ohms on the sending unit. S/b between 10 and 70 ohms. I know grounding the sending unit wire will send the fuel gauge to full, so it's possible your sending unit wire is grounded out somewhere.
