Igntion switch key angle - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**zschary** · 11-19-2020, 02:34 PM

So i have a 67 c20.. I bought another igntion switch for it and new lock cylinders.. I have been reading that 67 had no accessory postion? this new switch seems to have it to the left.. Problem is i cant get the key to be vertical up and down when its off, its clocked to the right.. It works fine in the lock but this will drive me nuts if the key is not straight up and down like it was..
anyone run into this.. ? I did try to turn the whole thing to the left to align it, its still off..

Original '67 ignition switches did not have an accessory position. New replacements probably do but the wiring won't be there for it. There are 3 small nubs on the spacer that fits behind the dash and 3 notches in the hole in the dash. If you make sure that the the key is in the vertical position and the nubs are in the notches before you screw the bezel on, it will be in the correct position and stay there.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures on my computer but I can post some in the morning if you want me to.

I doubt if they are available unless you can find a NOS one.

Looks like my local NAPA has it. Don't know why it specifies w/o tilt wheel, since it sure looks like a dash-mounted switch.

are all 6 of those at that link no accessory position switches? how does one know it does not have the access position? I did manage today getting it in straight, i was thinking when i took it out the key goes in with the ridges up so i was trying to install it wrong to begin with.. Thanks Lockdoc for the help..

i think i would like the right switch though if i the accessory position does not work..
