Electrical problem
1963 Chevy Impala V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic ???? miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I need to know how to take the existing tumbler out of my ignition switch I see that it has a small hole right next to the key hole so I poked a small wire and tied to take the tumbler out but it wouldn't budge.
thx Joe.
