Default Left door lock
I need some help with a door lock problem.My 80 coupe has the left door lock cylinder has a longer shaft coming out of the cylinder than the right door.The clip to hold the cylinder in place has a switch and two wires running to it.This is probably a security device but the door lock paw when put on ther is a big gap as if a spacer or something is missing,any ideas on this?

Here's a picture of the LH if it helps. The AIM doesn't show any kind of spacer.
