Absolutely CruiserMatt is right.
The engine runs when it’s in the start position (cranking) because the coil is getting voltage from a slightly different circuit.
When the key (ignition switch) is moved to the run position, the coil is fed through the ballast resistor.
So it seems pretty...
For the gasoline guys…. I have a HAC in a ‘85 2F motor transplanted into my ’74 FJ-40, and drive my truck up Mount Lemmon (2500 - 8000’) regularly.
My truck seems to run better & have more power above 5000’. It’s prettier amazing!
I was thinking ignition switch, too.
I think you can get the lock barrel away from the electronic part.
First thing I would do is hit it with spray electric contact cleaner and work the switch in all positions.
Disconnect your battery to save wear & tear on the starter!

When my oil squirter fell out, it made horrible grinding sounds as it spun around against the timing gears and timing cover…
You also have to be very careful (IIRC) in getting all the bolts in the right spots.
There are some bolts if installed in the wrong spot can push the plate out, causing...
They used to be in the $50 range…. Not sure why the price drop?
Maybe it’s these economic stimulus packages?
I can give one for next year’s White Elephant gift exchange!
I would doubt it. My guess is your lights would be very bright for about 10 minutes…
Although you may be able to buy 24 V bulbs and relays to fit in the light housings and the harnessing.
Physically, they should fit
This is an egregious use of both plastic tubing, and the word insegrevious!
Good suggestion on the copper tubing… and I am not saying that just because I am from Arizona!
When the thing stops, go to your fuel tank and open the cap. If you hear a big sucking sound, you’re pulling a vacuum in the gas tank and you’re fuel system vent Ian working properly.
At least you’ve got a big garage!
I had good luck getting off undercoating with one of those heat gun things, like a hairdryer. They’re cheap at Hazard Fraught!
Are you sure the timing is set correctly if the distributor was loose?
Can’t be sure about the engine’s status, as has been said.
You can drop the oil pan and inspect bearings & journals…
Pretty big job, but….
