=====================================================================
I bought the NAPA switch which is Echlin #HL6571 for $25.99. It went 
right in but the old one was hard to get out as the rod didn't want to 
release and pull out. Turns out it was pulverized inside and I think the 
chunks were blocking the release. I did finally get it and was pleased 
that the new one didn't fight me. I am in the process of doing the 
ammeter by-pass and running the power straight through the bulkhead 
connector. I feel confident this will cure my problems as I was getting 
all sorts of weird resistance due to the bad and changing connections. 
That causes voltage values to change also. I hope I can get it finished 
before my dyno session next Wed.!!
