Default I need a good place to buy switches

It is for a nitrous setup I am working on. Specifically what I need is a momentary push-button switch. Where it gets tricky is that I need one that doesn't have an off position. I need it to supply power to one pole when not pressed, and power to a different pole when it is being pressed. Does anyone know where I might find something like this?

If you are in MA, you should be able to get it at "You Do It Electroincs Center".
Here is their site:
http://www.youdoitelectronics.com/
You can find directions on how to get there.

If you are not in MA, Jegs and some other sell switch panels (not cheap) that may have what you need.

Have you tried Radio Shack? Their selection has dwindled, but sometimes you can find what you need.

Here is another place you can try:
http://www.digikey.com/
(This place is not in MA, you can order from them)

I second the autozone. They have some in the lightbulb and ricer section and radioshack nhas lots of different switches, though probably not what your looking for right now.

I've seen some that are 3 position, off, on, and momentary push-on. They are Painless wiring, VERY high quality, not cheap.

Google them and find a vendor in your area.
