Who understands the workings of the steering column?
If so, I have some questions concerning the interlock. I have circled it in this picture that I stole from someone selling a steering column:
The part I have circled is the interlock device I guess. I am not quite sure how it works and was wondering if anyone knew.
Thanks,
Jonny

That was a mouthful!
Thoughts?

That is correct, the absence of that solenoid should not affect starting.
If you want to make sure it's not the ignition switch causing an issue, you could power the starter motor separately of the switch. Temporarily connecting the heavy gauge white wire(12 volt constant) and the heavy gauge black/white wire(starter input) should engage the starter. Both wires can be found at the back of the switch. I would recommended testing the wires with a multimeter first.
