Ross, thanks for confirming my suspicion about installing a relay to take the load off the switch. It's gratifying to see at least one other person arrive at the same conclusion.
The form factor of the modern universal ign sw I finally decided on for my conversion is rated 15A continuous and 5A for the start circuit at 12v. Way too low for much of anything practical at even 12v let alone 6 but was pretty typical of those I looked at. I'll be installing a couple of relays along with the switch.
For anyone interested in adding a relay to their existing car, YnZ's Yesterdays Parts online store has the 6v Bosch style 40A plug in relays and a matching socket. $10 for the relay which isn't bad considering not many carry that 6v coil voltage. 12v relays are also available but those are found for much less many other places.
