In Part 2.1 of the C3 Corvette Ignition Switch series, I cover the installation of the key switch tumbler and all associated components, including the locking rack, lock pin, and sector gear.

As I mentioned in Part 1, this demo uses a 1969 Corvette standard steering column.

The ignition key switch can be replaced with the column in the car since all you would be replacing is the tumbler. The sector gear is kept in place by the spring-loaded rack. You still need to remove many parts to replace the tumbler, so this is an involved job no matter how you look at it.

Having said that, these videos will help you understand how the systems work together.

Thank you for watching! 🙂👍🏻


P.S.1 If you are wondering why this video is referred to as Part 2.1, the answer is simple: There is a Part 2.0 video accessible only through my 76vette.com Blog (link above).

P.S.2 The procedures outlined in this video apply to most General Motors vehicles, including Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevy and GMC pickup trucks, C10, Silverado, Cheyenne, Sierra Classic, Cargo Vans, Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban, among others.

I am a DIYer, and the repairs and work shown are for my benefit and entertainment. If videos appear to give technical how-to advice, that is not my intention.

Working on a vehicle can be dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a professional mechanic.
