Having a tough time getting my gauges out to trace down some wiring issues. I can get my headlight and my wiper switches out, but the ignition and choke are giving me a tough time. The ignition has two small holes on the front of the switch that I imagine have something to do with getting it off, but paperclips in the holes don't seem to be doing the job. Any tips? tried searching but didn't find any other threads.

Turn the switch to the acess. position. Insert the paper clip in the hole to the far right. There should be a slight spring resistance. Push in on the clip & turn the switch a little further CCW. The tumbler should pull out. Then remove the retainer nut. The choke knob should screw off if there is a slot behind it in the bezel. If not it has a nut on the back of the dash.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Thanks! I figured those little holes had something to do with it. Wonder why there's two if the other one isn't used?

Yhat one is called the "Murphy Hole", as in MUrphy's law. He's everywhere, he's everywhere.
