Hello,

First, let me say I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to
working on classic trucks, so please forgive me if I seem
ignorant....I'm still learning. Anyway, I've got a '54 Chevy
and the other day when I was working under the dash I
accidentally touched the battery side of the ignition switch
to the chassis, getting a nice little spark.  I also broke a
wire so I decided to clean up some of the wiring.  When I was
done, the engine started right up, but then I found I couldn't
shut it off with the ignition switch.  For some reason the
ignition was always on.  I thought it might be the switch, but
I checked it with no connections and it seems to work (it's not
shorted).

Any thoughts as to what might be the problem?

Thanks,

Jeff
