Gasket or Rubber Seal for Door Jamb Switches

Ignition Lock Removal
Hi Everyone, I want to remove my ignition lock assy and have the cylinders corrected to the doors. I have read the manual and it says insert a paper clip (0.035"dia) in the release hole and turn the key to the left.
Sounds easy but I have 2 release holes and I am having trouble sticking paper clips and turning the key at the same time. So I know the lock assy is not per the manual but it is a GM key. Any suggestions..its one of those simple things that get you chesed after about 45…

Whats the difference in Meaning
Hey guys, whats the difference in a part called a reproduction and called a replacement? I'm looking at door jamb switches and the reproduction costs more than the replacement.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
