Lost igintion key

Problem: So a couple of days ago I drove my 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA to a festival. At that festival I lost my key. Now I had just bought the car and hadn't had time to make a copy of the key.

I have already gone and replaced the ignition cylinder with a key without a Vats sensor. Thinking that it would just fix itself. I was wrong.
the vehicle will turn on but wont turn over.
I am in deep trouble. Please is there anyone put there with a cure to my problem?

There are 15 different resistors available. You might need to try a few until you get the right one then get a key cut with that resistance.
