I am in need of a ignition starter switch. Where can I pick one up? Are they intrchangeable? Chevy Caddilac Pontiac etc

 

Try Mac's antique autos. A friend of mine just ordered a set of door locks and an ignition lock from them for a very fair price for his '63 Ford. They may or may not have exactly what you need but it's worth a try. Good luck.

I just looked closer and it appears they are for Fords only. Sorry. Have you checked with Fusick or Kanter? They do Oldsmobile.

 

Try evilbay. If this is the right one the guy says it fits Olds, Buhog and Chebby.

Edit: Rockauto has the switch (if correct) a lot cheaper and also has the lock cylinder with keys.
Did you try the parts store? NAPA has a lot of that type stuff or can get it the same or next day for you.

The original Delco-Remy switch is group 2.188, p/n 1116646, 1964 except F85/Cutlass. It is unfortunately a one-year only application. It is not that hard to find though.

Buick may cross, I know Chevrolet doesn't, and I doubt Pontiac does since their switches have an A/C compressor cutout contact (which the rest should have had IMHO).

The cross reference # in the ebay ad doesn't cross to any 1960s Olds number I have. KEM were a good aftermarket company, but I'd be a little wary of it unless he has proof of cross reference, or can show you pictures of the plug end to verify against your wiring plug. I'd almost bet you're going to find some melted wires on that.

Have you tried Car Quest or NAPA? We got a switch for my bud's 66 Starfire thru Car Quest.

 

I bought a switch for my '69 GMC at Carquest last year, no problem...
