1948 Ford F-6, Flat 6, I have a new ignition cylinder, and if need be I have a new ignition housing.
Does anyone have some instructions on replacing them? Should I do both? I got the parts from Dennis Carpenter, not cheap.
I didn't get the keys with my truck so I'm replacing it.
Much appreciated, and if there was a post I missed, please add the link.
How is yours different? The manual illustrations are sometimes not the best - as this one would suggest that the smooth keyslot bezel has tabs extending from it, for example.
I used to have the same one, NAPA universal. The PO may have filed off the tangs in the dash to make it fit. You just unscrew the bezel to remove. Obviously your new cylinder won't work in it.
yep, you guys were correct. Someone had replaced the original one. I removed it, and found my new one was made for my truck. The only issue now is that I need the bezel Back to LMC. I matched the wires to the correct leads on the new ignition housing. I'm not sure how the cylinder fits in. It appears to lay in there and the bezel holds it all together?
