I had some j/o 's try to steal my 85' back in 92' in Newark. They smashed the column up and mangled it bad. There wasn't any electrical damage. I got it started by using a pair of pliers. There is a long aluminum rod inside the column when you pull on the rod it will unlock the column and fire up the car. It sucks bad but I got around until I got the column replaced($500.00 bucks).
