Welcome to the site. If you haven't already you might want to try and post this in the C3 section of the site. You may get a better response to your question. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum
I'm not quite sure what you mean by Lock pin, I hope you find the answer here however.

I have a '73 as well. If you can post a picture of the switch installed perhaps I can compare it to mine and we can locate the pin to be removed. I'll check mine out tomarrow and see what I can see. I looked in my shop manual and could not find anything.

Are you referring to the tumbler or the whole assembly? Is your switch on the column?

There is a lock pin that you must remove to take the old switch out. Does yours have a telescoping s/w? You have to pull wheel, retainer, steeering wheel lock plate, turn signal switch to take out the pin.
