Any way to use FB ignition switch on SA?
I’m having trouble finding an ignition switch with key for my recently acquired SA. Has anyone made an FB switch work?

Now you need to just get your lock cylinders re-keyed to match the ignition, gotta love that problem!

Was the key cylinder bad or the switch itself? The switch is sseparste from the key cylinder. If you replace just the switch, you can retain your original key cylinder and the keys will continue to match for your car.
