    Sounds like you need an aftermarket switch - even Advance had one, a Dorman in their HELP display. If not, NAPA. Here's one from Auto Zone just for ID info - Duralast/Ignition Switch (LS483) | AutoZone.com

    Gary,
    A quick "google" of "dash mount ignition switch" yielded this universal switch from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Mount-Universa.../dp/B004CO0W1W plus there were fancy ones from Flaming River, and others. Shouldn't be hard to find a switch that'll work for you.

    You can run whatever kind of switch you want for your starter as long as you run a relay. (Unless you're looking for a switch that does ignition/start at the same time.)
    Experience has been a brutal but effective teacher.
