: Removing ignition switch

I got new repro knobs and bezels from the Muscle Factory, they look really, really great. Now for the install. I remember that to get the ignition switch out, you have click your heels together while saying "there's no place like home", or something peculiar like that. Can anyone remember, I think I need to insert a paper clip into that little hole, and then what?

Thanks

Can't see what you are working on but since you refered to a paper clip, 65 or so?
Disconnect the battery, Put the key in, turn the switch to ACC position, paper clip in the hole to release the keeper, turn switch to the left after the keeper releases, remove cylander (hopefully).
