Looks like I would need #11 and #14 Mar......and thanks for posting. For some reason 69' was a one year deal with the ignition switch, thus pay out the ying yang.....

So how does the ignition lock come out of the switch?


Yeah that creamy dark will nock a guy on his rear......Tried that stuff during one of our ice fishing outings last year. I had to have the ol' lady pick me up at the shore and leave the Snowmobile left parked out by the shanty overnight. No way I would have ever found my way home in one piece

Pretty sure the tumblers in the lock is shot or close to it Stu. You put the key in and it's really loose as well as the key is able to move around up and down when it's engaged in the lock........

I had no idea you could pick up the switch at a local parts store.

I had dsd1967 offer to help and may have a decent switch and lock available. Every part I got from him has been top notch so far! So hopefully that pans out an he has one around. If not, I definitely will need to go one of the routes you guys have been nice enough to post


Thanks you guys. You all been a big help as usual.

IIRC ('68 though) if you unscrew the bezel from the front, the switch and lock come out of the back as one piece and it just slides out of the switch.

ill go to the garage and see if i still have the set and see if i can remember how i pieced it together.

:wtg: Thanks Mar!

Aint no thang but a chicken wiing brotha!!!

Stirred not Shaken...this time!

Will, so my voyage out to the garage stirred my memory....it's just like i thought in the earlier post. unscrew the bezel (or screw in your case. lol) and the tumbler sits in the switch. there is a little hole in the threads where a dickie from the tumbler pops out and locks into the hole. (see pic)

i took a look at #11 and #14 on yearone, and it seems to be just about the same design, xcept the 69's assy looks to be a little longer. im assuming the same principle though.

 

[Propwash]

Very Much appreciated Sir! Thanks for taking the time to do that.....I definitely owe you a round or two.


Have a good weekend buddy!

Ignition Switch

Hey Prop....sorry to keep you hanging, but I've got good news. I have a 69 switch direct from the dash with key and the ignition light and some date code correct Ohio dust. It should clean up OK, but the ring has seen better days.

It looks like you've had plenty of help in the interim....everyone wants to see you get this car back on the road. I'll pm you to work out the details.

 

[Propwash]

Great! Thanks a bunch Dave......Should work great!

And I really do appreciate all the help that everyone's been posting.

Thanx guys

 

[roadrunnerman]

hey will good to see you get the dash together.looks great. I know this is a little late but maybe it might help some one else in a pinch.I did use a ignition switch from a mid 70"s dodge van, the wire harness plugs right into it and fits in the ignition hole on the dash. i still have the one i took off my van just in case.

 

[Propwash]

Heck of a tip Roger...Thank you! Very good to know.

All I can say is..............It's Fricken Cold Here!!!!!! People were wondering where winter was, well suprise...Got a kick in the face of it this morning when the air temp and windchill were well below zero. Didn't catch the temp or windchill but I know it's below zero seeing as soon as you walk out the door, the snot instantly freezes in your nose. Nice thermometer eh?

Well been off for the past few days and have had a lot of time to pluck away on the roadrunner...The doors, fenders, hood and trunk lid are pretty much done. I have one more guide coat to block out yet but I think after that, any other leveling will be taken care of by the paint and then wet sanding. I still have to bottom 2/3 of the quarters to skim and block..7 1/2 feet of vertical fun.

Figured I mention the 71' GTX in the pic's. Guy who owns it, bought it himself brand new in 1971. It is a factory 4spd, air grabber car with the hemi orange paint, original everything including the 440. The car has 54,000 miles on it. Pretty neat huh!


Progress!!!!!!!

 

[moparstuart]

nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dave5237]

Hey propwash. Nice find. Maybe we could trade engines. My 68 GTX has a 440 high performance raised block from 69. I too am a year off ( just kidding ).
