Ignition switch I think mine did this. Check conections at the battery, the starter motor and at the switch first before you go changing the switch.

Do you have a multimeter? You can get a very cheap basic unit for around $20 from dick smith. Apart from the usual terminal connections including the ones inside the terminal, check for voltage drop across the main positive cable during crank. It is common for the old datsun thin battery cables to wear out. Also the earth main cable is very important. Mke sure all contacts are clean and free of crap.
