Re: Ignition lock
I get that a lot with high mileage stuff.
Before you get crazy, make sure that you grab the steering wheel and rock it to the left and the right while you're trying to turn the key forward. Sometimes the lock rod hangs up in the cylinder catch area.

Re: Ignition lock
Pretty fast response, as well.
What about the VATS? Did you get a new chip key or a cylinder with the resistor built in?

Re: Ignition lock
1987 did not have a Vats system, just the plain old ignition key. Just replaced the Lock cylinder with two new keys and I was happy for what it cost. Thanks again for the reply
