Speaking of locks - how does one get the ignition lock out of the 
steering column? Looking at the TSM, there is a latch that you must 
push with a screwdriver then twist it out. But I'll be darned if I 
can find the latch. Anyone know of a magical way to get the thing 
out without breaking something? Thanks, Lu

Waiting on the holley black fuel pump. the moroso electric water 
pump drive kit came in too. Still need to get the AN fittings and I 
am making a deal for a Barry Grant fuel filter. That will complete 
the fuel system.
