ignition problem
I put my new ignition on today finally hoping that would fix my problem with not b/n able to turn the car off... well it didn't, i was wondering if u guys could tell me where i could search next b/c i have no clue where to look. The car starts fine but it just won't turn off plus it drains the battery down... give me some answers please

I dunno if it could be the ignition switch, usually they stop the car from running when bad, not the other way 'round. That plus the constant drain on the battery means that you probably have something wired incorrectly. What exactly did you change ignition-wise?
Using a voltmeter, check the coils when the ignition switch is off. They should not read any voltage. If they do, then that's your problem and you'll have to find a switched power source to power the coils, like the original ignition switch wire.
