Harley, I followed the advice from a previous posting. The momentary switch I used was from a 122s parts car but there is nothing special about it. It's just a spring loaded push button momentary switch with 2 terminals. 1 terminal is wired to the hot terminal on the ignition switch (passenger side terminal of ignition switch)and 1 is connected to the wire that goes to the starter soleniod (top center terminal ignition switch, green wire). Disconnect the soleniod wire from the ignition switch and connect it to the momentary switch.
I made a mounting plate for the new switch from a small piece of aluminum angle. I used the 2 screws that hold the ignition switch in place to attach the aluminum angle. No new holes needed to be drilled into the dash.
The fuel gauge is working again. The sending unit and wire to the gauge were fine. The gauge terminals were clean but the paprer gasket surrounding the gauge mounting surface was only half in place. I replaced it with a rubber gasket from the 122s parts car fuel gauge and reinstalled. It works but I'm not really sure why. I suspect the gauge was touching somewhere it shouldn't have. Anyway on to the heater switch that will not close completely.
Thanks for all the replies
Alan
