64 F100 Ignition Question

I put in a whole new igniton assembly into my 64 F100 when you turn it to start it doesn't spring back to ON position. You have to turn it back by hand. Is this normal for these trucks?

No this is not normal for these trucks. There is a problem in the new switch you installed. Possibly a defective switch. I'd pull it out and see if the problem is repairable by re-doing the install or replacing the switch. JMHO!
