  1. 1A - Starting and Charging System
    Hey guys, I bought a 1968 Kadett not too long ago but it had no keys. I bought a new ignition switch off amazon (Bosch 0342311007) and would like to replace my current switch, only issue is that I have no idea how to remove it. Any ideas?
  2. 1A - Starting and Charging System
    Hey guys, made a post a few days ago with no luck. I removed the old ignition switch, cleaned it out, then reinstalled it, but upon turning the key to (what I presume) is the start position, it does not appear to spring back when I let go of it. Any ideas? Note: the car does not run (yet) and...
  3. 3B - Steering: Linkage, Column and Gear Box
    I am 1-1/2 years into the GT rebuild, and I can not remember where I put the keys to the car. Senior moment I guess. I decided to remove the cylinder, but the instructions require turning the key, which I don't have. Being as the key should match the door keys, I looked at the codes on the...

    I have a '72 GT that is being restored, and I have a locked ignition cylinder (can't turn the steering wheel) and no key for the ignition. I got keys made for the doors, but they don't match. Is this something a locksmith should be able to help me with, or can I remove/replace the ignition...

    I've read the tips, have the manual, and looked at a few threads. Are there any videos or step by step on changing the ignition switch and adding the relay on my '73 GT? Hoping to ease the pain... Thanks, Larry

    This post can be used for electronic ignition and/or EFI. The 36-1 is simple enough. 35 teeth with one missing. With this tone ring you'll see a rising and a trailing edge from the VR sensor.

  9. 3B - Steering: Linkage, Column and Gear Box
    Hello Everyone, I need a replacement ignition lock cylinder (w/key) as well as the cylindrical housing that it fits into (contains the column lock and mounts the ignition switch) for a 1972 GT. Some joker worked mine over with a screwdriver, and it no longer requires a key to unlock. If you...

    Does anyone know who makes a one wire distributor like the GM HEI style for the 1970 opel gt 1.9?
  11. 6E - Tune Up
    I have a 1972 Opel GT and today i was able to get it to crank over and start for a minute or two but then she dies. I think its a fuel delivery problem. I plan on ordering a new fuel pump because the seals on the one now are going out leaking gas slowly into the crankcase. I was wondering if i...
