On the 55-59 truck the ignition switch guts is removed by taking a
straightened paper clip or equivalent, and inserting into the tiny hole you
see on the face of the switch. Push on it and turn the switch to the left
and a little jiggling and the inside should pull out from the switch
housing. The bezel will come off then and the switch is removed from behind
the dash. Unsure of the 46's but may be the same or somewhat similiar. Look
for that tiny hole........
Regarding the wire removal, i only have reference to the tri 5, they have
spade lugs on the back of the switch that wires just pull off of terminal.
Does the starter have a electrical solenoid activated from the swithc on it
or does the 46's utilize a floor mechanical activated solenoid for
starting? The additional wires may go from the switch to the solenoid to
acivate the starter when you turn the switch to crank it...
Of course normal disclaimer applies here--I may not know what the hell i'm
talking about so please verify before doing. Extra care is always needed
when working with power..
So the vendor is offering no assistance what so ever? I thought chevies of
the 40's had a better reputation. --wayne
