How do you fix a stuck ignition key tumbler on a 1974 corvette?
74c3
tumblers are merely brass pins. go to any hardware store & purchase a small tube of graphite lubricant. it is a dry lube - do not use oil as it will make your tumblers gum up over time. simply squirt a small amount of graphite into the lock, then insert and remove the key a few times. if this does not free the tumbler, using a very fine pick or perhaps another key with a different cut, attempt to push the tumbler further into it's hole. once some of the graphite works its way into the hole, the tumbler will pop up like normal.

How to replace ignition switch on a 1974 ford bronco?
"First, insert the key into the ignition tumbler. Proceed by turning the key counter-clockwise until the key is in the "accessory" position. Using a paper clip or pick tool, depress lockout pin while turning the key counterclockwise approximately 1/8 of a turn. The tumbler should then release. Remove tumbler from ignition switch. Note the position of the tumbler as it is being removed from the ignition switch, making sure not to turn the key as it is being removed from the switch. Align the new key and tumbler in the same position. Be sure the flat edge at the end of the new tumbler matches the same position as the old tumbler. You will more than likely need to suppress the pin on the face of the tumbler as shown in video in order to match the same flat edge position. " - Copied with permission from tomsbroncoparts.com.
