68 ignition lock help needed
Took my car for a spin to the body shop. Couldn't get the key to turn when I went to leave and had to call a roll-back!
Good thing for Haggerty Insurance!
I need help/advice on how to get the lock out without damaging the ignition switch. It seems a tumbler has frozen and will not allow it to turn. The release pin hole does not line-up. (photo below)
Also, where would be the cheapest place to purchase? THANKS!

If you want aftermarket, they are only about $25.00, But if you want original try Paragon Vintage dept. or Doc. Rebuild, but probably alot more money. or maybe someone on the forum has one. Good luck.

I had the same thing happen with my 68 - I used an opened-out paper clip thru the holes - took a bit of faffing around for 10 minutes or so but came out in the end - the 68 lock assy is the same as other GM items and should be cheap.
