I have a new ignition switch, the electrical part and brushes on the way. I was having intermittent issue with the lights going on and off then I noticed when switch was flipped on the fuel gauge and the amp meter would not come on without a wiggle or pushing down hard on switch. Think this...

It’s a 12v coil with a ballast mounted beside it

Thanks, I've checked coil and ballast resistor I fire wall mounted, The original switch I was a little concerned with from the get go. I cleaned it up best I could and went for it,

Here's a new one in my Flathead adventures. 1936 Ford Tudor. I have converted to 12v with the Vintage Garage kit. Everything had been just great for a few months then when leaving a cruise in last week she would only turn over but finally fired and got me home. had to work on some other stuff...

thanks

I did, picked up some friends at went to breakfast about 30 mile round trip, nice here in East Tennessee today

I was thinking 1940 had parking lights above the headlights in the same ring? Nevermind, reread post, question in the buckets

Thanks
