im trying to replace my steering collum in my 91 bird, but the one i have doesnt have vats. can any one tell me how to get around this? trickster, you seem to know alot. can you help me?

 

Hello grn420,

From reading your post, if I'm reading it correctly. You are replacing your steering column with one that does not have the VATS key ignition lock cylinder. If that is the case, why not just take the lock cylinder from your old steering column (provided you still have the key and the cylinder works) and put it in the new one. I will post the information you requested in your e-mail shortly along with some other information.

that would be a good thing if i still had the key and lock cylinder trickster, but ive lost those long ago

 

Sorry to hear that grn420. However, you will notice in my post that I did add "provided you still have the key and the cylinder works" in parenthesis. Did you get the e-mail I sent you with the information? Also a new lock cylinder goes for about $50.00 at the dealership and the keys are about $25.00. Let me know if you need anymore information and good luck!!!!!!!!
