Hello everyone, new to the form and just purchased my first Scout about a week ago. It’s a 1978 Scout II and so far 
I currently live in eureka CA, originally from orangevale CA and I’m moving to guam this summer and the Scout is coming with me! I’m in the coast guard and drive boats for a living.
The only picture I have of my Scout right now, will take some better ones in the future

Welcome to the forum. Just for future reference, when you have a tech-related question your best bet is to post it under the most appropriate subheading. You're likely to get a more timely response that way. Now, you say you have a new ignition switch. Are we to assume the previous unit failed? In order for the engine to stay running with the ig switch in 'run', voltage must be supplied to the coil. You're obviously getting voltage to the coil during starter crank, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing spark from the plugs. So what you're lacking for whatever reason is the constant voltage supply when the key is on. The wire that supplies it is either missing, disconnected at some point, or connected to the wrong terminal on the ignition switch.
Edit...I see now after posting this that you did create a similar post under ignition tech. So I'll impart another piece of forum etiquette. Multiple posts concerning the same issue tend to get a bit convoluted with answers scattered between the two.

Understandable. I wasn't trying to bash your brains in. You're far from the first and you won't be the last.

Probably not such a gas guzzeling pig when you realize your truck weighs twice as much as a typical car.
And your chances of surviving a major accident in that are much better than they would be in a lightweight,
gas sipping, non performing, imported piece of recycled, third generation steel and plastic.

I'm from oklahoma as indicated by my username, I go by several different names on boards all across the web. I recently happened upon a 1979 Scout II for $600 and couldn't pass it up, my uncle paid half and I paid half, he also has a 1979 midas traveler that is in major need of repair
. Found the board searching for parts from a genuine light line dealers search on google, I don't know much about IH's or scouts for that matter but I am steadily learning.

Ahhhhh, ya. I'm a proud owner of a 72 Travelall 1210 392w/ic with close to 400 miles on the new build and 200k on the rest.
I found this site through ihon, at first when I got the truck (nov 2010) I would randomly call him up and ask question, haha, so I was told to come here.

New guy here from moses lake, wa. I recently traded a 79 Ford for a 78 Scout II, I've always wanted a Scout and jumped on the chance to get one, this one needs a little work but is a great start, runs/drives great, need to replace the rear end already, blew it just driving down the road. I'm amazed at how torquey the 345 is, it's definetily going to be a fun mountain rig and all around driver, I'll post some pics when I can get on my computer and do it. I'll be checkin this site bout everyday though, it seems like a great one! Anyone on here live around moses?

Hello all. I found this website by looking for some technical help. This is currently the third Scout that I have owned. Some people would call me obsessed but I just love the damn things.

How do everyone. New member here, not real new to scouts. I grew up with one in the family and then I drove it while in hs. 15 years later I finally got in another after my old man wouldn't let me take ours. I am an active duty marine, I was born and raised in se kansas and currently live in socal.
My "new" ride is a 72 Scout II with a 345, t-19 backing it up, Dana's front and rear with a detroit locker in the rear. The guy couldn't tell me what was in the front or the gear ratio in both axles. It is still in original paint with the exception of bed liner 2 owners ago had put at the bottom.
I've been lurking for a while and look forward to getting to know some of you. Btw the name is shane.

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your service, shane! Axle-wise, a '72 4x4 model would have been originally equipped with a Dana 44 rear and a d30 front with drum brakes all around. You can do a google image search for both d30 and d44 axles and compare to what you have up front. The shape of the gear housing and cover is very different between the two. Also, an sii d44 front will almost always have disc brakes, however there were some 44's that did come with drums, just as there are rare cases of d30 front's with discs, so the brake hardware isn't a 100% identifier. '74 was the transition year for sii front driving axles, with some cross-breeding mixed in just to liven things up for us nearly 40 years later.
As for discerning the gear ratio, check the diff cover's for any small, tin tags. Often those disappear or get trashed beyond recognition, but you might get lucky and find one that is still legible. If not, you can remove a diff cover and you will find a series of numbers stamped into the ring gear. One of those numbers corresponds to the ring gear teeth. Another one is for the pinion gear. Or you can count the teeth of the ring gear and divide that by the number of pinion teeth. For example, 46 ring teeth divided by 13 pinion teeth is a ratio of 3.54 to 1. The main thing of course, is that your ratios are identical in both diff's.
