ignition lock is frozen

hi guys,

I have an '85 gsl-se, and the key won't even turn in the ignition lock anymore.

do i just need to replace the lock or do i need the whole new ignition switch assy?

where is the best place for me to get the necessary parts?

thanks

this is a bitch to find, you're gonna need if you can find it, just the cylinder, but it'd probably be a lot cheaper to get the whole ignition switch, i think it ran me about 50 bucks off ebay and i also got all 3 other locks for doors and hatch, good luck.
