Ignition switch help

So once i fix one thing on my 81 another thing happens, my ignition key switch doesnt work anymore, i powers on the radio and everything but does not let me turn over the engine. Does anyone know how to replace it or bypass it with a little button switch i saw at the local parts store? Need it up and running for the cruise this weekend so please help with some step by step. Much appreciate some help

Re: Ignition switch help

Did you check neutral safety switch? Is it in park/neutral, clutch switch?

Re: Ignition switch help

i havent opened it up yet its too dark right now. i think its the whole cylinder but instead of replacing it im going to leave it and bypass it with a starter switch button like this
