Hey Lenn,

Your best bet is just to jerk the switch that is on the car, take it to the
parts house, and ask 'em to match it. You may need to go to a different
style electrical connector but it'll still be more "originalish" than a
starter button on the dash...

I hesitate to ask what you do when you need the starter...

Like your style and don't give up on the wifey...

Cheers!
