Got it running finally but i have to hold the Ignition switch in between the start and relaxed position to keep it running. Sounds like a ign switch problem? Any other ideas? 1966 Charger 383 4 speed (Black with Red interior) 1973 Cuda 340 4 speed (Lemontwist) 1972 Corvette

Try bypassing/jumper the ballast resistor for a few seconds and see if it will run with the key in the "relaxed" position. If so, replace it. If not, it's likely the key switch. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

When I rebuilt the column I should have just changed it out then but live and learn.
