Standard Motor Products US43 Ignition Switch

The Standard Motor Products US43 Ignition Switch has garnered a mixed reception among customers, highlighting its compatibility and function alongside some installation challenges. Many users report that the switch fits well into their vehicles, with precise compatibility with original parts. For instance, one customer noted that it worked perfectly in a 1966 Oldsmobile 98, with the original lock fitting seamlessly. Similarly, another reviewer found it to be an easy replacement for their 1967 Corvair, indicating it matched the original switch closely, albeit with one additional terminal. However, installation has emerged as a significant challenge. The switch is placed in a location that makes access difficult, especially in older models like the early Chevrolet Chevelle where the dashboard must be partially removed to reach the switch. This requirement for dash removal can deter those less experienced with automotive work. Furthermore, there are concerns highlighted about the fitment of spade connectors, with one user needing to modify them to secure a proper connection due to them being slightly loose. On the downside, not all experiences have been positive; a customer reported that the key would not stay in the ignition switch of their 1967 Camaro, presenting a functional drawback to the product. In summary, while the Standard Motor Products US43 Ignition Switch demonstrates compatibility and functionality for many classic models, Prospective users should be prepared for possible installation complexities and variability in performance. **
