Only a dealer can ,atch one to your key. You'll need title and registration in person. Anybody else can sell you a cheap "shop lock" that works, but not with your key.
You can't transfer the cylinder into the new switch?
You've already got a bad ignition switch, why would you want two?
In my experience a bad switch isn't the same thing as a bad lock cylinder. Although if the vehicle is very old, it is a good idea to replace both.
That said, if the cylinder is working right and feels smooth, then just replacing the broken switch is fine.
