The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Ignition Switch Question

I need an ignition switch with an accessory position for my '52. I got
one with my new wiring harness, but it's aftermarket and can't be
keyed to match my doors, and doesn't fit the hole in the dash
properly. I found a switch that may be from a '55(2)-'59 V8 truck or
from a GM car somewhere in the '50s or early '60s for which I could
fab a mount so that just the nose of the cylinder sticks through the
dash, but while it has an accessory terminal it doesn't have an
accessory position...it has

OFF (locked), OFF (unlocked), ON and START.

It must originally have had a cylinder with a raised feature on the
face for operation without the key.

So the question is: does any GM car or truck ignition switch mount in the dash with a threaded bezel and have the accessory position? The preferred order would be

ACC, OFF, ON, START.

Thaks for any information.

If it has an accy terminal, it probably has an accy position. Push the key in further while turning left...... I've seen plenty that have a "gate" to get to accy pos.

Good luck!

I used a 53 olds ignition switch in my 37,it fit the hole and looks like it came from the factory. It has all the needed terminals. Jeff
