1995 Chevy Monte Carlo 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I could fumble through it, but what specific info availible to replace the electric part for the ignition switch (below the key). Been having intermittent problems with starting the car - starts most of the time / will not even "click" at others. Recently replaced the starter/soleniod, thinking that was the problem. CAN start the car with switch "on" and "jumping" the solenoid.
