Am I Fuc#@$
In the process of moving I lost the only set of keys to my
86 Camaro.
The car is at my old nieghbors house. I tried doing a search and didnt come up with much i dont know if many have been in my situation. Does 86 have VATS, my key doesnt have that pellet on it.
My neig. was telling me to put a flathead sd in the ingnition and bang on it with a hammer till the tumblers break and then turn the ignition to start it. Tony was telling me i can order a new ingnition set and key. I dont want to smash up my ingnition, I will if i HAVE to. not even sure if it'll work though. I dont know much about all this electronic stuff.
SO is there anyother way without smashing my ignition,
I know im gonna have to buy the ignition/key set anyways. so i might just do that b/c my cars parked on the street.
anyhelp on this, i've been looking for the keys all day.

the screw driver thing might work. my 86 does not have vats.
i would recomend doing it the right way and getting a new ignition key. will take longer but it will pay off.

Yeah, ima go ahead and get the ignition set for it tomorrow.
I just get worried about my car being parked on the road, b/c they usually get broken into. Excpecially on the weekends when kids are off school.

Don't use a screw driver. You risk breaking the housing around the ign cyl and then things can start getting expensive. Take it apart the right way, not that big of a deal.

why dont you take your copy of the title to a local chevrolet dealership and have them grind you a new key right there for a couple of bucks? Just call around, there are some that can do that for you!
