i need to know if the ignition switch from my 79 rx-7 (parts car) will swap cleanly into my 85? i really dont want to have to buy an ignition switch. splicing and soldering would not be an issue to me either if necessary.

 

just try it! i think all you need to do is take off the steering plastics, unplug a plug or two and one phillips head screw holds the switch onto the tumbler.

 

i will give it a go next time i am at the shop then! thanks alot for such a quick response!

 

no problem. i know 99% that they switch betweek FB's, from SA to FB im not sure. but it really shouldn't take more than 15min to find out. Good luck bud!

 

i kno my 82 parts cars swapped into my 84's but idk about the sa's to fbs.

 

well it didnt swap so i fixed the issue by filing down the tumblers in the lock to fit a new key! it worked like a charm
