You should have an ignition box that has a gear inside it that turns with the key. It sounds like the gear got turned during the swap. It has to line back up exactly where it was.

Okay I kind of had a feeling it had something to do with that because I had to take the ignition completely off because I didnt have the key to get the switch out Ill take it back off and see what I can do I'll let you know thank you for the help.
