M1008 Ignition switch

[1dcorbin]

When in doubt, whip it out(the Parts Technical Manual that is)... It says it is called a, SWITCH,LOCK,IGNITION GM part number 7843294

Proper terminology and part numbers(and pictures) is very helpful when looking for parts or information.

Where would I go to find the switch, lock, ignition? I tried NAPA-they did not recognize the part #. Thank you!

A Chevy dealer will have one. I bought them as resent a 2 years ago. Good Luck. I just checked they are discontinued from GM. He suggested a lock smith.

Since the lock is discontinued; should I be thinking ahead and bypass the lock-switch, manually engaged all the functions (except start) with a single switch; and, then have a push to start button?
