Weird One Here
Saturday I was out and about driving my 69-912 with no problems at all.
When I got home I turned the car off then decided I should put it in the garage. When I turned the key, nothing, dash lights came on but no click or nothing on the starter.
About 1 hours later I was going to push it into the garage but tried the key 1 more time and it started onthe first try. Any ideas or suggestions? My ignition switch is a bit "stiff" but has always worked fine.

Hi Craig..!
Two things come immediately to mind... The first is that your ignition switch may be "intermittent". This is usually caused by age, and wear can be accelerated if the key to your car hangs on a key-ring which has a lot of keys attached (yep - the DO get heavy!!)..
Second - be sure that the cables to the battery have a good connection. I've seen times when these are dirty - the car acts like it is "dead"...
Maybe others have a suggestion or two as well..!!
