Mick,
Awhile back I asked the list about replacing the ignition switch on my 67.5
1600. I got the impression that they are no longer available, and that many
people had modified their cars to use other switches.
Then I got a message from someone on the list offering me a switch from a
280ZX (1979 - 1983). It's prefect. It mounts right on the steering column,
just like the old one, and the lock works too.
HTH - Robert - 67.5 1600 - Abq

You think that's bad..... The hole ignition core on my 67.5 comes out when
you put a key in it. So when I start it, I have to manually return the key
counter-clockwise, to relieve the starter. What a pain. How much is a new
ignition? How much for a used/good condition ignition?
