Reply to "Car Fails To Start - No Spark ...."

OK, just a quick update... I failed to approach this issue in a orderly and thorough way even though I was taught to do so some 35 years ago. As suggested by CFH my issue was indeed the ignition switch. However, the faulty ignition switch did produce/mimic the "dead MSD" indication as described by MSD. I did replace my analog MSD w/a digital unit and moved it's location out of the engine compartment.
Bill Taylor was able to save my original ignition switch and I am grateful for that.
In the mean time I have replaced my original ignition switch with a common drag racing switch panel (rough mock up photo) which was only sixty bucks and it works very well. As I have never taken the key out of this car since I have owned it, I will probably just keep the drag panel as I enjoy hitting all the switches for start up. The key and column locking mechanism still works as a theft deterrent should I decide to turn the key back and pull it out.
I want to thank you guys for helping me w/this issue, the weather is great and I am back on the road again! party
