Hey guys,

I've got a 70 Swinger. I'm in the middle of swapping from column shift to floor shift + console, and as part of the steering column swap I want to replace my ignition lock cylinder. It's worn out pretty good.

The problem is my column shift column is from a 1970 car, and I'm pretty sure the replacement floor shift column is from a 1973 car (non-tilt). When I look up those parts I see they are different lock cylinders. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the lock cylinders?

FYI - the 1970 cylinder fits into the 1973 column just fine, and would seem to work.

Thanks in advance!
