a while back my car started to lag to turn on when i turned the key. the switch will have no response unless i play with it by moving the key up or down while its on ON. eventually it stop working, so i decided to take it apart but when i checked the switch by turning it with a screwdriver it turn on perfect.i put it back on but it wouldnt work again. can anyone tell me whats wrong or what im doing wrong

Since you've had it apart, you've seen the thin narrow rod that turns the switch. You can take two pliers, and twist/bend that rod in the direction that the key turns, to get it to move the electrical switch farther when you turn the key. My car had a similar problem where sometimes it wouldn't start (maybe the same, your description isn't very clear), probably just from mechanical wear. Bending the rod fixed it.

yeah zed, the "rod' has a lot play i don't know if it suppose to be like that.not sure what you mean by bend or twist it looks very fragile, but if it helped you than ill figure it out.sorry about my description but it sounds like you had the same problem

This is a little off topic. But has anyone tryed the push start and control from motorsport auto for the 70-78 Z's. It a thought

My friend has it, works okay ive heard
