put the key buzzer in before the lock cylinder. much easier. No need to make a hook to pull harness through. Just put harness in the opening and use a long screwdriver to push it through.
Nice detail on the video! Having done this on my Chevelle’s column several years ago, I can say you made it look easy, with great narrative. Correct tools make a tough job much more tolerable!
Good morning from Michigan. Spring can't come quickly enough. My Poncho's out in the snow and the old GMC's sitting in its stall with a trashed front wheel bearing. I only gotv250 k miles out of it. Thanks again for all your solid info. It was 2 below a couple of nights ago and I pulled the Cat out. All that ice cold metal, a stock starter and that old girl fired up better than Mama's 2112 Surburban. I LOVE PONTIACS 💘
Appreciate the shout out I was creative with the name for the firebird 😂 you should name it the “redrum bird” so it’s still “murder bird” and also a reference to Pantera since we would be head banging to them while in that car 😎
See I knew you where creative. Redrum bird might stick just like the black car. Its had that name for 20 years. Yes it has to have some way of playing some lovely sounds of pantera while driving it around again.
@@VinylVillageGarage thanks a lot for that info. I have a 69 Firebird I’m working on now. I was given 2 keys that appear to be original, both are really old and say GM but the ignition uses one key and fits nothing else. The other key works both doors only. The trunk lock is missing and neither key works the glove box, which is locked of course lol. Is the glove box key able to be replaced? I’d like to get into it and unlock it without drilling it out and breaking it. I really don’t care if I can lock it, but it would be cool to have everything work and not have 4 keys lol. Now I know that either the ignition or door keys are not original to this car since they should be the same.
I wanted to keep the ignition and door lock keys the same. A long long time ago someone stole the keys to this car and I only changed the ignition and never locked the doors again. I figured now is the time to fix that issue.

Cool thanks
Thank you so much for the knowledge.. just picked up a 67 and got to replace the directional switch. Great work
Very welcome, I really like sharing and playing cars
Thank you Jon! sure wish I had seen this video before I replaced the switch in my 80 TA! Keep the tips coming! Be safe and have a Great Day!
Will do thanks!

Thanks! In this case the special tools help and are worth it even if you only use them once.

I feel your pain my GTO is out in the driveway for the winter. It needs some love, it’s not perfect.
Gee! I'm glad I never had to take something back apart to put a part or two that I left out back in. (Just take my word for it, don't ask Mike)
Lol, I normally never Make mistakes ever. Never ever ever…….

And yes I know he doesn’t actually say redrum in cemetery gates just sounds like it 😅

Thanks for this video. this is my next issue to fix on my car....
Nice. You should get the spring compressor if you don’t have one makes the job much easier. Just about all parts store sell them.
@@VinylVillageGarage I ordered one after watching the video, it will be here Thursday.
Good video have to do that to mine thanks for the video it will definitely help me...
Coolness that’s what I like to hear that this stuff helps
Great video brother really nice you should make some details of save them birds
Thanks pal. I am working on the details but if I can resolve them I plan to make up some shop shirts and maybe a few extra to sell
@@VinylVillageGarage I will be interested
Good video man 👍
Thanks, hope it
Helped.
Isn’t the trunk key and glove box key the same as the doors? Wouldn’t you want to replace them all together with the same key?
Door and ignition are the same then glove box and trunk is the same on a 1969 Firebird. Not like newer cars

The judge's are going to take points for all keyed the same

Yes it hurts Jon
No pain no gain. You gained the knowledge to not let me operate the picks. 😜
Do you have a complete rebuild column for the 68 firebird dash mount key???
I don’t, I have not done a video on 67/68 columns yet.
Any idea what's the spring call @ the 9:25 mark, right before the horn canceling clip? I'm missing that .
Couple names. Steering column spring, horn contact cancel cam pressure spring. If you want one Firebird Central sells them for like $14.00
@@VinylVillageGarage Appreciate it ,
Welcome, Hope it helps. Good luck on your project
