    I suspect my switch is bad as well and FF is out of stock. Any recommendations for a replacement?

    Trying to start with out alternator hooked up (waiting for bracket), would not having the red alternator wire attached to alternator be an issue with the no current at the orange coil feed wire ?

    my ignition switch just went out today.Won't turn off. I also had 2 bad light switches. They replaced one but wouldn't replace the second one. I went and bought one at NAPA. I think they need to get a new supplier for their switches.
