Fox Ignition Cylinder Won't Come Out '88 GT

[SelfDestructStang]

I've been starting this car with a screwdriver forever... Now that I've gotten around to replacing the ignition cylinder, it won't budge. I push the pin and turn the key and it doesn't even feel loose. Anyone have any idea how I can get it out??

At that point it should pull straight out. Some WD40 squirted in and left to soak may help.

Are you turning the key to the on position?

You need to fish for on while poking the pin. Once you find the run position the pin will recess just enough to remove the ignition lock
