Double check your wiring.
I'm pretty sure the 23 series wiring diagrams are on this site. I printed them off before. In order for the column rigged starter to work without the ignition switch he had to bring a hot lead from somewhere or taken the one for the ignition and probably bypassed the carb switch and went straight to the selenoid since the ignition switch didn't function as intended.
My factory switch was missing, so I bought a 3 position universal(NAPA) and wired it and it worked fine, except my carb starter didn't work so I had to bypass/jumper it.
