You should have lots of old ford keys around, just keep trying till one of them works. That is how I got the spare key for the 78, went to bucks and took all the ford keys I could find.

It was last liscenced in October of 2007.

And Prep diesel is kinda like pouring pepsi in the motor, sure it may help but there are many better substitues.

No way, diesel is just about the handiest thing you can throw in a motor. Diesel works great for lubing up old engines. Back in the day at this one farm I used to work at, the farmer would throw some diesel in every fuel tank to keep his fuel system clean, and just before an oil change, he would throw a little diesel in the oil to clean er out. Always worked well.

Putting pepsi in a motor I have never tried, but I did unsieze a 1931 3 speed transmission once by using coca cola.
