Subject:      Ignition switch and gas tank questions
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Happy Friday all.
I am sorting out some things on the van before I swap the engine (low
compression and gases in cooling system).
Here we go.
1) My ignition switch some times does not work. I get lights hear fuel pump
ect...
If I jiggle it around some it will start. Is this the electrical switch part
going and or the mechanical lock getting sloppy/worn?


2) How high do i need to raise the van to  reseal the gas tank and any words
of wisdom. When i fill up it leaks on the passenger side, but if i do not fill
up all the way
no leaks.






Also FYI . I found the ground for the left head. It seems that a splice was
put in and it was grounded to the base of the distrubutor.


One thing off the list  and added 2 more ; )
