Steve.

I had my '84 do the same thing last year. I took the ignition switch out and took it to a guy here in Denver who is somewhat of a wizard on P cars and in about 5 minutes, he dissambled the mechanical portion of the switch and removed the pin that performs the lock out (that pin keeps you from activating the starter while the engine is running). He told me to be careful not to try to start the car while the engine is running. It has worked like a charm since then. I thought I might have to replace the electrical portion, but that was definitely not the problem.

PM me and I can find the guys number. He would talk to you on the phone and direct you with what to do.
