I would prefer not to > have to drill or cut anything....?...any ideas.... Did your car use the same key for all the locks (all the late years did, 68-73, at least.) If so, take out the passenger door handle (because it will be less worn and more likely to be original) and take it to a locksmith and ask them to make a "code key" for it. They will use the number on the side of the door lock to make a key that will then work in the ignition, too. > as for hot wiring our cars there is one thick red wire a thin red > wire and a black which go to the ignition...how do I hotwire the > thing.....my best guess is that you touch the k red with the black > that flicks on the accesories then you touch the other red to both > of those until the engine starts...am I right....?
