Thanks for your responses! The new switch arrived yesterday. I installed it with new screws, making sure it was perfectly centered on the brass starter contact. I also made sure the rod receiver was tight. After attaching the Neg cable to the battery, No Meltdown!!
The old girl fired right up and purred! I can't remember the last time I was so happy while working on an old car!
I am now going over the entire car to evaluate everything else needed in an effort to form a base line. There is a fuel leak if you leave the valve on after shutting the car off; it seems to be running a bit rich, and the choke rod is very hard to turn. (Correct Pos cable is on the list, columbiA)
Before I got it, it sat for 20 years and was rarely driven. I have downloaded a maintenance schedule and plan to do all items on the list.
Thanks again for the responses and great advice. I love this car!!
