<VV> Early ignition switch cylinder replacement.

[Sethracer at aol.com]

As I said, no early to try. I agree on the door-lock numbering. Of course,  
if you do all you can do and there is a problem with the switch itself, 
time to  replace that as well. How long has the car been sitting?

Easy to  remove one of the door locks...There's a 4 digit code on it that 
your  locksmith can use to make a key

I do not have an early to test this  theory on, but on a 1965, the complete 
 lock assembly can be removed from  the car, without removing the key 
cylinder.  (Not true on a 66-up). The  outer ring comes off and the switch pushes 
through,  and you can unplug  the harness. If you can do that on your 
early, take the  whole lock  assembly to the locksmith and let him remove the 
cylinder. You might   have to pay a bit, but it isn't like a house call. He 
would have more luck  with  keys than you.   In a message dated 3/28/2017

recently acquired an early with no key, and the ignition in the "on"   position.  
After trying every one of my collection of B-10 keys with  no  luck, I got 
another cylinder with keys.  Now the problem;   How do I  remove the useless 
cylinder when I have no key to get it into  the lock  position?  I'm thinking 
I may have to resort to hammer and  chisel  tactics, which I hate to do to 
any   Corvair.____
