Swapping out the ignition switch and lock on my 71 Challenger and everything was going well...put the switch in and locking bar with the lock. Screwed in the lock plate then turned the key and it was good. When I turned the key backwards,it would not go all the way back to where i could pull the key out again. In addition, I could not move the key backwards to the accessory position either. Checked to make sure the install was done with the switch in the off position but I am stymied. I put the old lock and switch back in and voila'! I have the same problem but I didn't have it before the swap began! WTH? I looked at the locking bar and it appears to be in the correct location but now I am confused. Anyone care to throw experience or advice at this, please? It would be greatly appreciated!!
