OK4450 hit the head right on the nail! The ignition coil is being powered, even in ignition key OFF? It does look like the ignition switch is out to lunch. This (continuous power to the ignition coil) could still happen with a good ignition switch in the ON position, IF the distributor points happened to be closed. So, that’s something to be aware of, even after repairing the ignition switch.
