I remember one time I started mine by pulling the ignition switch out and jumping two of the wires that come out the back. If I remember correctly, there are letters on the back of the switch, one is "s" for start, one is "r" for run, those are the two you jump, take a small U-shaped piece of wire and push it into those two connections and the car will turn over, once it starts I beleive you remove the jumper and it will stay running. Maybe someone else can confirm this to be sure, but this is what I remember...

Or you can just buy an ignition switch with a key, or have a key made.

I have always found it more convenient to rig an ignition with a cheap toggle switch (12v 15A) between battery feed and ignition RUN terminal or coil positive. Then use a 12v 20A momentary on pushbutton switch between battery feed and ignition START terminal.

If you run the ignition switch to coil positive, you won't have the resistor wire so points won't last long, but if you're just shuttling around it'll be fine. I drove a car for a couple weeks rigged like that, until I could find and modify an appropriate wiring harness (before repros).

Remove the lock cylinder and record the number stamped on the side of it. A locksmith can make you a key from that information.

Removing the lock cylinder without a key is a pain. It's very easy with a key and a paper clip.

If you have the billing history, the original key code is on it. You have a fair chance it's the original switch.

going into my new starter there is your spot for the main power then there is "s" and "r" spot on the starter there was a yellow and puple wire but they went on the same spot on the original starter..maybe somone can help my out and guide me to where the purple and yellow wire go.. on the new starter either s or r thank you for all your help and info..
