This helps. Much appreciate the guidance. Dad knew so much and I know so little.

Yes the foot switches do go bad. To check yours, you can connect your volt meter Com lead to the NEG battery post and the + lead to the starter. Push on the switch with the ignition OFF. Read the voltage on the meter while pushing on the switch. The meter should read 0.3V or less. If it is more, the switch is probably bad. Is this car a Ford or a Lincoln? They do make reproduction switches for the Ford, but not for the Lincoln.

Dad's car always started easily but since I got it 10 years ago, it seems to turn over more slowly each year. Checked all connections, new Interstate battery, tested starter motor but nothing helped. Do the foot starter switches go bad. All help appreciated. Runs like a top after it starts.
