Guest 1930 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a difference between the 29 and 30 Chevy ignition lock/cable assy, on my 29 you put the key in give it a twist and out pops the cylinder a little, the wires run thru the firewall and are easliy seen where they attach, on the thirty I cannot yet get the key to work but regardless at the end of the cable there are no wires, just some sort of plug, looks like it is supposed to plug into something but cannot figure out what, any help would be appreciated in explaing to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 You might find answers to some of your questions at the following website.http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.comOn the 1931 Chevy Electrolocks that I have seen, the end of the armored cable mounts to the side of the distributor and connects to the points. I have no experience with the 29-30.Regards,Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldcarz Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Both the 1929 and the 1930 have a metal armored cable that has the ignition switch on one end and connect to the distributor on the other end. The difference between the 1929 electrolock & the 1930 electrolock is the number of terminals at the ignition switch end. It appears from your description, someone has removed the electrolock cable from the distributor. You may also have the wrong key or a problem with the ignition tumbler on the electrolock switch that does not turn. Send me your e-mail address and I will send a picture of what the electrolock and distributor connection should look like.

Guest oldcarz Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 There is 1 terminal on the 1929 and 3 terminals on the 1930-1 electrolocks.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It has been some time now since I made the first post and have answered all my questions, as a matter of fact I wrote a rather indepth length article on the 29/30 electrlock assy describing in detail all its components and measurements of each and also have a few diagrams to go with that. If anyone is interested in obtaining a copy of this than just let me know. It is long and thorough and I have made no mistakes so it can be taken as good. Thanks for the offer old carz and wish I had got back to you sooner but I assumed after a few days of little response here that I would not receive any so I stopped checking here and investigated other places. Let me know again if you would also like a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest captmidnight Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 thanks for posting your information on the electrolock assembly. I would appreciate receiving a copy of your research. In that you've already gone down this path, perhaps you've found someone who can fix the keyed cylinder, too. If so, let me know. thanks again.Bill Clark , barclysdad@aol.comIt has been some time now since I made the first post and have answered all my questions, as a matter of fact I wrote a rather indepth length article on the 29/30 electrlock assy describing in detail all its components and measurements of each and also have a few diagrams to go with that.

Guest obcurrier Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I was not the one who wrote that. It was posted to me from my request for information. If you look back you may find his post. There is a person who repairs them but it cost around $500.00 if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
