Re: 1979 Chevy build

Re: 1979 Chevy build
Brandon, just talked to my neighbor... he said its a piece of cake. pull the steering wheel, horn plate, and use that tool to push down on the spring and release the clip(??) and you'll see the screw that holds the ign. tumbler. he said the hardest part is getting the tool

Re: 1979 Chevy build
hahaha, okay when i turn the key on the collum to the run position all the power comes on but when i put it in the start position it doesnt crank or nothing, so what i did was wire up a on off toggle to the battery + and to the s terminal on the starter and i use this to start it, its always been hard to start it i would have to move the collum down to the lowest tilt to start it then bring it back up but not it doesnt crank from the ignition. i believe it is the rod in the collum.. but for now it runs

Re: 1979 Chevy build
Yeah it's a little keyway thing that keeps the ignition in line with the tilt column. It is made out of like a potmetal and is very common to break. You can buy them at the auto parts store in the Help section.

Re: 1979 Chevy build
didnt run for long left me stranded again last nite i would turn the key and get no power but my toggle still worked and all lights, so i droped the collum and took off the ignition switch thinking that was it so i had a buddy go get me one and when i took it off the rod came out it is bent, now i need to find a way to get it back in and what do i need. for now i have the new iginition switch in but not mounted i use the rod to push and pull on the slot for it as if it where all connected in the collum so it still runs just want to fix it rite

Re: 1979 Chevy build
That's a definite steal. You don't find bands in that good of shape very often at the pick and pull.

Re: 1979 Chevy build
My vote would be for no bumper guards. It looks so much cleaner without them.
