79 D150 Ignition Switch - 03/18/18 04:41 PM


Need a source for the ignition switch with a tilt column. The non-tilt is a common switch but the tilt part number isn't even listed. help

Larry, thanks for the help but it's the pigtail and switch activated by the key that goes to this switch I need. help

I saw the non-tilt ones that had some type of harness but none with the tilt ones. I don't know.

This comes up with non-tilt

Same part that I need but for a tilt column, probably because of the different switch. shruggy

The Rockauto one above is for tilt. All the ones that look like the one I posted with harness state "non-tilt" so I don't get it either.

If you need the switch you need the part he posted, if you need the mechanism that operates the switch, that's a whole 'nother animal.

The tilt is for sure, a delco style column-switch but that does not mean a chevy switch will work. I'm thinking it's similar and I don't know how hard it will be to obtain, but it is surely different from the straight column style.

Yes the deco style has me wondering if a GM type might be an option.

The key in the column on a tilt pulls a rod that connects to the switch under the dash that is attached to the column with two screws.

Do you need the lock & rod assembly? Or the switch attached to the column under the dash? Or the wiring connector(s)? ( Older harnesses had 1 connector, newer there are 2 connections that plug into the switch). Both connectors (one piece or two piece) are part of the dash harness. Gene
