    Thanks Mark for your insight. It is amazing how electrical and mechanical issues pop up. Even when not used, but then again the car is 48 years young.

      To better clarify, I am referring to the key lock cylinder you turn to start the car’s engine. Just above that is the area I tape. Never had this problem before. Last time I did anything with the steering was 8/9 years ago. The steering wheel would not lock when the car was turned off and the ignition key was removed. I had this problem repaired then.
      The column not locking and the engine not starting are separate issues. The key-lock may lock the column just fine but not engage the ignition switch properly. Conversely, the lock may engage the ignition switch normally to start the car, but the column may not lock.

      Which problem do you have?
