So I've ordered door and trunk lock set twice now for my 66ss chevelle.
One set from OPGI and one from Ground up 396.
Both where wrong. The way they are clocked puts the keys in the horizontal position instead of vertical. The Ground up description even states, that if they fit in the horizontal position, call customer service for help....but no help yet...someone told me that if they fit horizontal instead of vertical, they are for a 67, but both sets i bought clearly state they are for a 66?
The first set i bought, i had to pay for shipping to return. I'm not sure yet about Ground up...i need to call them back on Monday to find out.
Please help....getting frustrated

my 66 was the same on the trunk, I just twisted the actuation rod and installed the lock horizontally. jim

Why not get a original set and take them to local lock smith and have restored Then you know it will fit and work. Why bother buying China junk when GM made millions of them and they can be serviced to work for decades

I don't recommend ordering these things without seeing it or trying it at least on your car

The S-I-L's 66 Caprice trunk lock is the same way, Horizonal. So it must be a '66 year thing.

My 66 glove box is horizontal when unlocked and vertical when locked. I always thought that seemed backwards.????

Trunk lock should be vertical.

File the lock opening and install it how it should be. I've had to do that before on a 66.

Horizontal unlocked is correct.
