I've made one of my dumbest mistakes 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Tue Dec 3 17:37 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have the kid's 122 back together, but can't find the only ignition key he has (had?). I can have a locksmith come and make a new key. The cost is $35 for mobile service and $125 to make a new key. The blanks he has are probably for 140, but the kid is due back in town Friday and will have new blanks with him.

This has the original type armored cable to the coil, so it's Volvo-type stuff. I know I can replace the ignition switch with a generic type and use another type of coil, but I suspect themkid will want the original stuff left in place.

Are there any other alternatives?

As usual, thanks in advance for the advice.

Oops, thanks also to you guys for the suggestions on the timing gear problem. As it turned out the mark on the crankshaft gear was almost exactly 180 degrees away from its proper location when the cam gear mark was contacted the crank gear. I guess that makes it "only" about 90 degrees off.

I haven't worked on one of these for several years and have forgotten how much fun it really is, especially in comparison with my wife's 244.


Thanks for the help.
