ign. switch

I just bought a 1978 F-150 with the 6.6 has any one had on of these motors. It looks like a 351C from the front, the guy I bought it from said he was told it was a sb400. Has any one heard of a 400 small block. The first thing I have to do is replace the ign switch with out having a key.
Is there a way to remove the IGNITION CYLINDER with out a key, I thought about drilling it out. I need to put all new gaskets & a tune up now. I will put pic's later.

Thanks Bill
