There is always the chance that the new switch is faulty as well

Sounds like everyone covered it. If it was the engine ground it might
turn over slower. Time to get the diagram out and start at the source the
battery. Check every connection from there to the coil if all the quick fixes
fail.

I thought I had my electric troubles solved on my 63 Polara 500 (383),
but I guess not.
The symptom is getting intermittent
spark. Battery is strong and I have a jump box on it. It cranks
strong always. What I noticed was that sometimes I get the oil
pressure light on and gas gauge moves. But sometimes not. If the
oil light is on, I'll get spark and it will fire. If the oil light is
not on, it will crank but will not fire. At first I though it
was a bad switch. It seemed to me that jiggling the key when I cranked
made some difference. I replaced the ignition switch and it
worked right away so I thought I was out of the woods. But I tried
again yesterday and it's back to the same symptom. This time I
dug a little deeper and it's strange. If I turn the key half way
without engaging the starter, the oil light is off. But if I wait
about 5 seconds, the oil light comes on. Then I try to crank and the
oil light goes off again. I tried this about 10 times and it's
consistent. Engage key half-way, wait 4 to 7 seconds, and the oil
light comes on. Engage crank and oil light goes off. I'm
convinced the oil light and getting spark are related
somehow. I'll have this weekend to play with it some
more. Any advice for me heading into the weekend? As always,
thanks.
