Re: [T3] Smoking ignition

I have written to them asking if I could use this <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'">ignition switch with the original key cylinder.

I do have a 67 lock and switch (or at least I believe I do), so according to Alex's answer I should be able to retain my key cylinder. However, according to Anthony, this is not possible. Any insights? Keith?</font></span></p>
