yes - wish we had a tilt - but alas no

Thanks so much, Law Dog!! 😀👍 Your video helped me get out the old cylinder & put the new one in!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to upload your efforts, without you doing that, I would've definitely thrown in the towel!

Glad to help - That cylinder is a tricky one. Cheers

Thank you So Much! The "casting" in the slot was throwing me off. Punched through it and popped the ignition cyl out. Thanks again (1978 Camaro).

Yes - I was afraid to punch through the casting at first also - but once you see it - well it is all very clear.

I’ll watch again soon, getting ready to do on my 72 I just bought. Thanks been a long time since I’ve changed one long before video 🤣

No problem if you understand the way the lock works changing it is really not that bad. good luck.

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I've been going crazy because I can't get the lock tumbler out. There was no slot to push the pin in through. Thanks for the tip to scrape away the casting! BINGO! Out pops the tumbler. Thank you very much!

Just finished removing the switch & now I’m waiting for the part. I have a 1973 roaster 😊 and I noticed some structural changes in the mechanics compared to your year. It’s crazy how much engineering goes into these cars! Plus I have a tilt and telecopying wheel. But your video really gave me what I needed. It takes some work putting these things together and for that 🤘

I have a 1976 Chevy Malibu but the casting was covering up the little slot so I took a Flathead screwdriver and a hammer and picked on it made this lot and it was able to access it

Thank-you, Thank-you, Lord Jesus, Thank-you. There may be other fellas on the Utub who have explained, and SHOWN, how to do this, but I sure as hell couldn't find them. I'm working my way down the column, finding videos here and there. Nobody yet, has wanted to explain the whole Socratic process of c3 steering columness to me in a way I can see and understand. Everyone on the innerwebs thinks I'm a mensa level jeanyus, (If only they could talk to my wife...) but I'm really a moron that needs easy, slow instructions, like you were trying to explain it to a six year old. Like your video. Absolutely excellent. Best part?.....Showing me the little doodad SOB on the cylinder that I'm trying to work against. Once I saw that, I had an idea of what we were up against. So thank-you! And God Bless you, you got a subscribe from me Sir!

Great video. Do you know if the 1978 Corvette would be the same?

@lawdogcorvette8565

The 78 had option of cruise control on the blinker lever and could also have tilt option. Should be the same.

you dont have to remove all that . just use an ice pick tap it through the nylon ( blinkers) to hit the release tab on the lock.

Zip Corvette in Mechanicsville, VA - they have every part you will every need.

I understand taking it all apart but using a slide hammer in the ignition and pop the old one out and put the new one in. I have a 78 corvette same top tab broke but there is no way I'm going to take it all apart because of a little slide pin holding the ignition in
