[s-cars] Ignition switch? Starter

[Nathan Belo]

When I returned to the car a couple of hours later she started up, so  
I moved her 50 feet and shut her off and tried to restart to no  
avail.  Was able to compression start it so therefore a starter.  
Changed the starter & she is fine now and starts up quickly. Starter  
was $160 via Worldpac.
