If your starter stays engaged it is either your stater relay (solenoid) or your ignition switch.It is usually the relay,either mounted on your inner fender(earlier system)or on the starter itself.Follow the positive cable (red) from your battery,if it goes directly to your starter it is the later system.To test disconnect the ignition wire on the relay,the small gauge wire.If there is 2 small wires on the fender mounted relay you can disconnect them both if your not sure witch is ignition wire.Leave the 2 large wires connected.If it still is turning over it is your relay,if it stopped it is your ignition.If you have the stater mounted relay remove the small wire from the "S" terminal,and repeat as above.
