Key:
Door Locks:
Ignition key cylinder:
Ignition switch:
I would prefer to repair and use the original lock sets butin this case correct function trumps originality with the following concerns;

I have been unable to determine if a replacementignition switch would operate correctly with my existing ignition cylinder or areproduction cylinder.

My suggestion would be to obtain an original 63 ignition switch and send it to someone like Jester that knows what they are doing. He will key the switch to your keys and you will be operating like new.
They advertise in the Driveline.
