Stering column/ignition switch parts

[Belair62]

I need an ignition switch mylon sector...and a ignition switch rack and rack spring....#31,38 and 39 in the exploded tilt column view in the 70 shop manual...the sector and rack activate the ignition on the car...mine are a bit worn and tend to hang up sometimes......anyone know where to get these parts ? Does Chevrolet still carry them ? I need them quick.

Bob, Year One used to have the sector gear, at least...P/N 9116N. Not sure about the spring. Hope this helps, Tony

Check with your GM dealer. I bought a few column bits and pieces in the past year for our '69 el Camino.

I noticed some of these parts in a steering column repair package in the HELP section at the local Autozone. Part # 83211,the rack and sector gear were included.
