Our 440H had a bad ignition switch. The stud turned freely in the switch. This caused the turn signals and stop lights to go out intermittently. Here is the one we found in the 330, Romeo:



Here is the one in Ruby, our 440H:



Here are a couple of more pictures comparing the two:





It appears that the Delco Remy one is a 438, and the other unknown one from the 330 is a 648. The Delco Remy one, I suspect is the replacement, and it appears to work OK, but I can't figure out what switch this is from. I know it would be useful, though, so If I figure it out, I'll post it. Now, to get the current keys from Ruby to fit, you have to remove the cylinder by turning the key to accessory, pushing the retension clip through the whole, turning the key to on, then, as you pull the cylinder out:



Here is a picture of the two cylinders side-by-side:

There are many amateurs out there fixing up their old cars as well, and perhaps sharing our adventures will help. Copyright 2004-2008 FixRambler.com.
