WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN (NOT IF)
* My “START” Solenoid is not working
* My engine died, I was stuck on this steep on-ramp
* I switched tanks and my engine quit at 70 mph.
* My Key switch will not go to the start position
* I have to rattle the shift lever to get it to start
•I stopped, now it won’t start
• what to do till you can get it fixed
THIS WILL BE COOL

MY ENGINE WON’TTRY TO START
� My ignition switch won't start if the wheel is tilted down. Works great in the up position. I do understand that turning the key pushes the switch that is located in the middle of the column somewhere. I already have the NSS at the bottom JumperedBYRGN.
� When the key is turned to start the rod pulls up. (Mine is broken and I have a .22 cleaning rod alongside my column that I pull tostart my engine. I know, sad...) Gordon
� I shut it off with the pliers and went to the ragtime festival concert. The next morning I made a starter rod out of a coat hanger

These are symptoms of problems with the 40 year old, GMC steering column
YOU CAN REPLACE :
- the nss switch,
- key cylinder
- steering column
- shift linkage ,
- etc,
-BUT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT
-WHAT WILL YOU DO???
you should at least know where these connections are
I put in an EMERGENCY START SWITCH.
