On my 1988 C27 the ignition key has "off", "on" and turn to the right and hold to light the glow plugs. Let go of the key and it comes back to "on". It has a separate starter switch that you push when you have allowed a 15 second or so time for the glow plug to warm up. It seems to work well for me. Dick Schmidt Greenville, NC

To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010, 11:46 PM Ouch ! Rob, Sorry about the busted key. That's a bummer. Along that line, do you have a plastic shield over the Gauge Panel ? I have a clear plastic sheet that covers the top 2/3rds of the panel. It pretty much protects the panel and key. One would have to make a concerted effort to Stomp on the key with the plastic sheet guarding .....LOL If you'd rather keep the On/Off switch, May I suggest that you install a warning light there. It would be simple to do. It might help remind you whrn the Glow "Worm" is on.. Of course I could get Silly and install a 12 volt timer relay to do it all automatically. .. There are such devices and kits. OR... How about .. "Clap On, Clap Off" switches Now that's an idea I'll have to think about.... Yee Hawwwwww !

Ralph, it is for the "doing other things" reason that i installed the fixed position toggle in the first place. the problem is that i keep doing the other things and forget to turn off the switch. LOL today someone, maybe me, landed a sperry topsider on my ignition key busting it off inside the ignition switch. now i'm off to my local chandlery to acquire another switch. aaarrrggghhh!
