Hi all,
I am asking a question for my father here- One day he went out in the garage, put the key in his '76, and started it up to let it run for a while. He shut it off, went to take the key out, and.... hmm.... the key is stuck in the ignition.
I was hoping to get it out for him using some WD-40, but she's really jammed in there. I can't even turn the ignition back to accessory or anything. Can anyone suggest any way to remove the key and or the ignition cylinder to get the key out? I'd also thought there'd be a pin hole in the ignition like in the earlier Chevy's to get the whole cylinder out, but no such luck.
Thanks,
