[FC] Mystery solved!?

[Steve Turner]

Hello gang;  After trying several things including a new coil, tightening the 
negative ground strap on the battery and mending a frayed wire I took the '61 
Rampside out for a trial spin.  All went well for about the first mile when the 
shutdowns began occuring.  I parked the vehicle after about 2 miles to let it 
cool down (just in case that was part of the trouble) to take a bike ride.  
About an hour later I got in the Rampside to travel back home and almost 
immediately the shutdowns started happening.  Remembering a conversation I had 
with Norm (a good mechanic and Corvair owner), I began fiddling with the 
ignition switch and found that there was the culprit!  Whenever the truck shut 
down I immediately turned the key a bit more to the right and all was right with 
the world.  As soon as I let go, the problem returned though not necessarily 
immediately.  So now I am in search for a new ignition switch.  Any good leads.  
the truck is a 1961.  Do I need to find a switch that is exclusive for FC's, any 
1961 or what?  Many thanks.  I'm happy that I may be able to again trust the old 
gal to get me there and back home again.  Steve in Battle Creek, MI
