Help, my ignition switch will not turn. I can install and remove key. After I jiggled the key the buzzer sounded because the door was open but I still could not turn the key. I would like to keep the original key and just repair the switch if I can but how do I repair this?

Glad you got it sorted! Rich is usually on the money! After 50 years the ignitions get gummed up and need a good cleaning and relubing. I provide this service, or you can do it yourself with some patience and are good with handling very small items.
