'69 Steering Wheel Lock Problem

Feb 08, 2007 2 Replies

My 1969 vette's steering wheel sometimes doesn't lock when I remove the key. Sometimes I can wiggle the key and the steering wheel will lock. What's generally involved in repairing this mechanism? What's involved in replacing the mechanism?



Thanks, Charles

if its a tilt wheel ? (not sure 69's had atilt wheel) its probably worn out. replace the steering column. or you might try and replace the lock first.

The pin is probably just gooed up. Pull the wheel and pop a drop of sewing machine oil on it.
