I just ordered a wiring harness from Classic Parts and I have questions before I proceed. Here is what I got: 283 V8(originally 6 cyl), HEI, alternator. I think I also have the original two position ignition switch for a 6 cyl. Did this old ignition switch necessitate the installation of the under dash push button for the starter a previous owner installed?
Should I try to do the same thing with the new harness, or just get a new igniton switch. I was thinking an electric foot switch would be cool, just wire up like the push button?

you could fake it with the foot stomp, if it activated an electrical switch like the dash push button - it's your call
but I'd recommend going with the correct key start V8 ignition switch
