I'm completely out of my element with these real old cars so maybe one of you guys will know.
1) There is a 49 Chevy in the junkyard that has the ignition switch and I have the key. Problem is I can't get the cylinder out! With the key in, it only turns one position to the left. That's it!
Does that sound correct? It has the hole for the paper clip to go in but I can't feel a plunger and it doesn't seem to want to turn any further.
2) Shown below is the key. It appears to be an original since it still has the key code on it and is marked Briggs and Stratton as well as the RP corp logo. The odd thing is, it's ALUMINUM! I never saw an original key made of aluminum before. Have you??? I know replacements were available in aluminum.
So let's hear from you guys....
