[Roadsters] Starting Issue

 Hi, I need some help on an electrical issue...A friend of mine that 
owns a 68 spl with a GB Dizzy installed in it for about 3 years has the 
startup problem. Just recently the car started to have the start up 
problem, the engine cranks over but does not fire while the key is in 
the start position and once you release the key from the start position 
the engine will fire up.
     Has anyone else experienced this problem when installing their EI 
Dizzy or when the ignition switch went out. I installed the dizzy for 
him a few years back and everything worked fine until recently. I'm 
hoping that some how someone unhooked a wire then accidently hooked the 
"On" ignition wire to the ballast resistor instead of the "Start" wire, 
as to where its not getting the start up voltage it needs with the key 
in the start position.  Bill
