No vintage locksmiths near me on the east coast. Some of those guys are geniuses. Replacement wire harness smoke was out of stock at my NAPA. By mistake I went to Pep-Boys first but theres only a counter in there and no parts or stuff. Manny Moe and Jack must be depressed over that change.
So I started on the ignition switch. The cover was held on by two straight slot screws. I think thats why a phillips didnt work. I got it lowered and without cusing loosed the wires that were in the block. I also found an old car alarm wire mess in there that I forgot about. ( had it disconnected years ago. Horrible alarm guys didnt even remove it just disconnected it.) Anyway I was asking if I can remove the nut Im pointing at in the picture and if the steering column would then come out so I could work on it on a table. I think it would be much easier to do that but I read nothing about doing it that way. I have not even tried yet to remove the security bolts.
