Reply to "OEM key shape and Ignition Switch"

You can find people in Hemmings who rebuild anything electric for cars. If you have an original switch they can restore it. Mine acted up twice, turn the key to stop the engine and it would keep running. I took it apart, it is pretty simple inside. I cleaned it up, it looked new anyway, and used Lock-Eze in the keyholeand it was fine for years. It did it again this Fall and I used Lock-Eze again.

The original has a notch in the base below the threads that matches the hole in the instrument panel to keep it from twisting. I used an aftermarket switch for awhile and it would keep twisting.

I would have your original rebuilt, it will be better than new.
