Hello everyone,

I have a 73 conv. that i have worked on alot. Am having trouble with the ignition starter switch. I can bolt it on now problem but the directions say there is a lock pin i need to remove after instalation and i have no idea where this is at.

I hope to get a lot of help on here, from what i have seen in the past there are alot of great people here

Thanx

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.
