It might be a good idea to put a diode in the circuit to prevent "flyback current" from causing arcing across the contacts in the ignition switch. This should help the new switch live longer.

I do not know exactly which wires you put the diode on; I assume it goes on the yellow wire to the starter, though.

Hmm, but I seem to recall that an extra ground wire was run? Grr, I wish I had access to my old archives right about now!!!
