Greg, I replaced my ignition switch last year, and initially had the same problem with the switch not working properly. Eventually I had to back off the set screws, and "jiggle" the switch around in the recepticle (with my right hand) while turning the ignition key with my left hand.

At first the accessories (radio, lights, etc.) would work but the engine would not start. After more fiddling with the switch I finally got all the contacts to line up correctly, the engine and everything else worked, and then that's when you tighten down the set screws.

Good luck. I had a neck ache after twisting my head under the dash and clutch pedal to do this switch replacement. Took me about 4 hours vs. the 40 minutes that some others say they did it.
