Guest snozkc Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I've lost the key to my dad's (now my) 31 Model A. I know I will eventually find it but am looking for something that can be done in the meantime. It has an original pop-out ignition. Can a typical lock smith cut a key for these ignitions? Thanks, -Ethan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If you can find the key number- might need to pull the switch out - there was a guy on eBay that can cut a key from the code. I had one done for a rumbleseat handle and it was spot on. The ignition has it usually on the side of the ferrule where the key goes in or on the face below it. I wish I could describe it better. All bets are off if it is either a replacement or troop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordboy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snozkc Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for the information. I pulled the bezel and looked all over the lock and couldn't find a number. I found a locksmith that can make a key for a reasonable price. I'm going to keep looking for the key I had for a bit. Hey fordboy. I live a little south of Kansas City.

Guest snozkc Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I found the dam key! I guess it's time to make some copies, roll it out of the garage, and fire it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlCapone Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Not so soon ! How long since it has been started? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snozkc Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hey Wayne, I think it had been about 3 years since I last started it. It ran pretty well other than one really loud backfire. I think I had the low speed mixture set to rich. I leaned it out and let it warm up. Things seemed good although still rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
