I recently got a 1984 Corvette (please don't boo the Crossfire, as I kind of like it), and had to replace the key lock cylinder in it.
Now, putting the steering column back together, I can't get the metal spacer (part taken off before the spring, center shaft, and turn signal) to compress the spring far enough back to slide the metal clip in. I can't tell if I'm putting it back together wrong or not as I got an exploded view of the steering column and it appears I'm putting all the parts in correctly.
I'm kind of bewildered as what to try because in order to even get it close to putting in the pin, I have to put all of the force I can against the metal spacer, which, is ridiculous because it didn't take that much force to pull it off.
Help would be amazing, thanks.
Also, I'm wanting to build the engine to where it's output is roughly the same as the new C6 base model, 400 hp. I want to keep the Crossfire injection just because no one else likes it. I just want to know if anything can be done to it to make it better, performance wise. Any information about how to make the Crossfire better (without saying replace it). Also, what should I be looking for to reach my 400 hp destination as far as cam, crank, heads, etc. Thank you.
