So this morning I got out my Fluke meter and tested the ignition switch. The S and H positions work as expected, and the ignition (I) turns on when the key is on. I had previous thought that the ignition would be on only when the key is on AND the light switch is on S or H. At least that is how my car worked before I took it apart (and even before I converted to an electric fuel pump and alternator).
My owners manual says just to turn the ignition on - which I assume is just the key.
Is my experience normal? Do Bugeyes run with on the key on and not the light switch? I distinctly remember that my car would turn off if I turned off the lights or the key.
I'm curious, because this affects my new wiring harness.
