I own a 1979 Chevy K10 350 3 speed manual. I am currently have issues with it staying running. While I hold the key in the start position it will stay running ,but when I let go for it to be in the run position it dies.. Can anyone help me out so I can diagnose what the problem is?

My suspicion is it needs a new switch on the column. The one down on the bottom of the column. I'd probably replace the key switch as well. Not positive.

I think there is a way to adjust the rod that starts/runs the switch position
