Need to replace the ignition switch and lock cylinder on my 73 Challenger.
Are both parts interchangeable from 70-74 or are there variations for different years. Any good vendors to use?

Switch... 70 and laters

Cylinder, 71 and laters... 70 and some earliers 71 got a diff locking setup on collar for the cylinder

Need to note several replacement switches are made now to match several setups, so will need to match your one ( remove one extra black wire they got for example your Chally doesn't use ). Some manufacturer include instructions sheets, but some others not.

Here is ( for example ) one ign switch with instructions sheet, made for several diff 70s setups.

Good priced if you ask me BTW!

If you get it, get the instruction sheet scanned of pictured for tech references around! ( send to me LOL )

Several replacement switches got a diff rivets disposition on backelite, maybe due the extra functions like the think black wire mentioned ( which I have no idea of year and apllication ), but fits and works the same on steering column collar

( EDITING: nevermind, says out of stock )

This will be the lock you'll find on the cylinder... round press button

70s and I think some earliers 71 are a flat tab...



And release location is kinda diff on collar, like the steering collar must be to fit in it
