My thoughts exactly!!

 

I have no machanical experience. I'm doing the best I can in explaining the situation.

 

Well as we say around here, "Bless yo heart".
If you can start it as you say, get in it with all your parts and head west about 100 miles and I'll be glad to put it back proper.
I can do fiddly mechanical things.

 

Add photos to help explain the problem, it helps a lot.

 

"PIZZAGUY" - I live in tucker, Georgia. Do you know of any reputable auto garage that you would recommend ? It sure would be helpful. Thanks

 

Well, since you chose to completely ignore my post offering to help, I will henceforth ignore this thread.

 

I can't drive 100 miles to get car fixed. Pizza guy lives in my area and I was only wanting a referral. I appreciate your offering, sorry I hurt your feelings.

 

I'll get over it, I'm a big boy now.
I was only irritated because you did not respond to my post.
Good luck, I'm sure Mark can help you.

( guess I lied about ignoring this thread )

 

We wouldn't expect less.

 

Hey Steve, I don't see you on the CAA#8 list !
Aren't you gonna join us in Eureka Springs ?

 

No, but I will be at the" Dragon ". I just saw where Mark can't make it and was going to give him a shout about taking his room. Y'all have fun .

Thank you everyone fore the detailed directions and video on how to remove and modify the ignition. Worked great!!

 

I"m not on here a lot these days.
I've used Glover's Garage in Cumming (GA400 exit 14) a few times. $90 an hour, no quotes, no estimates, just $90 an hour. They've never let me down.

Tricia in Oakwood knows of a place in Buford as well. I can ask her.

 

Thank you pizza guy for the referral. I've ordered a new lock cylinder and sleeve, should be here with in a week. I'll let you guys know what the outcome will be. I appreciate all the support from this forum. You guys are the best!!

 

Question; I'm about to install new ignition housing. Do I need to remove locking pin and/or the spring and pin under metal tab before installing? Thank you for your help.

 

If this is a newer part it should be no trouble as the later ones did not have the pin under the little plate that caused all the trouble. To be on the safe side you could remove the little plate and see that there is nothing there.

 

The one pin by the clamp just pushes in and then you rotate clockwise to get ign to pull out. The spring and pin under the cover is the part that will eventually cause sticking, I would remove it now

 

Thank you for your suggestions. You guys are the best!

 

Well, FINALLY GOT CAR UP AND RUNNING! It came down to the ignition housing. Put new one in today, followed onehundred80 advice and checked the metal plate and yes, there was a spring and pin,took it out. Everything is great. YOU GUYS ARE TOP NOTCH MACHANICS!! COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE SUPERB INTELLIGENCE OF THIS FORUM!!! HAPPY, HAPPY,... JOY, JOY!!!
