My friend is supposed to be bringing me a switch, I guess if he dont in a few days I will have to take matters into my own hands. About how much would a used switch with keys cost? I dont want to spend alot of money on the truck since it is a parts truck. I just want to see if the motor will run and see if the transmission works right. The only thing I have taken off of the truck is the moldings and headliner so it is still driveable if I decided to do so, but it is really beaten up. So if I find out the engine and transmission is good I want to take it out and store it somewhere to keep it out of the weather, I would hate for something to happen to a prefectly good 460.

First thing to know is that the truck has to be 1978 built after a certain date to work.
So you have to make sure you get the right one.


You need the one on the right .

The pickup coil could be grounded as well so get a multimeter and test it.
