Ok my ignition starter switch broke. The little tab broke off of the switch so it won't stay against the lock and tumbler to start. A new one is almost a hundred dollars and im not really into the junk yard thing. Heres a pic of it:

The switch sits in the back of the lock and tumbler and when you turn the key it turns the switch. Well with that said I was wondering if there was any way that I could just get rid of that and add a push button start switch. Right now as it is I have the switch pulled off of the back of the lock and tumbler and hanging under my dash. When i have to start the car I turn it on by sticking my key in the switch and turning it till it starts. Then I have to put my key in the igniton and turn it so the steering wheel doesnt lock up. I was reading about the push button start button and was wondering how I could do it to work with my situation. Im guessing I will have to have a toggle switch that I will somehow have to connect so that when I flip the switch, the car will then be in the on or acc position. Then I will have to wire the push button to make it start? Is this correct. Thats about as far as I know so I guess what i need is how to wire everything up. I know this is alot to ask but I thank you in advance for the help.
