I've got a project car going to be delivered to me tomorrow or the next day. The seller divulged that the key was lost but assured me that the steering column does not lock (the price and my enthusiasm helped me sort of believe him). Anyway, the driver just called in route and tells me that the steering is locked (surprise, surprise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). So, unless I can defeat the steering column lock I'm gonna have to run out and buy a set of wheel dollies, and I'd rather not. Anyone know a way to bypass the column lock on a '74 without the key? TIA.

Remove steering wheel. 24mm nut?
Remove both levers. 4 flat tip screws & 2 harness plugs. Remove the plastic cover and the triangle piece of steel. Hidden in the slot is a hole to the leaf spring that hold the cylinder in. Press and wiggle the cylinder out. Use a screwdriver to push the slider away from the shaft, that should release the lock. It's spring loaded so put a 24mm od long socket in to hold it open. HTH |
