Starting with bad ignition

Is there a quick way to bypass the key switch on a 84 300SD?

Thanks
Doug

Best thing I can figure is disconnect vacuum line from the IP (& plug it if you want anything else to work vac related). Next make sure car is in park and brake is set (since you will be bypassing the neutral safety switch) connect a jumper or remote start switch button across starter to crank engine, use shutoff lever to stop it or reconnect vac line to IP.

I assume this is due to a bad ign/broken key?

well just to start it, quickly, pop the brown vac line off the ip and short a screwdriver across the terminals on the block on the passengers fender.
