Lu I haven't done it personally but have watched my friend do it on both my Hornet's and one of my son's Javelin's. You have to remove the steering wheel and that round cover directly under the wheel for access. That cover needs some kind of tool to compress it so you can remove the locking ring. Access to the latch is under the round cover. I hope this helps. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Give the gift of life to a sick child.

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.
