GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER The Vehicle Identification Number serial numbeF is located on the left horizontal surface of the instrument panel which is visible from outside the car Figure 1-3 shows a typical installation. LOCK CYLINDER CODING FIVE BITTING LEVEL LOCK CYLINDER AND KEY All 1970 style cars are equipped with new lock cylin ders and keys. The keyway has been revised so that prior model keys will not enter current model lock cylinders. Two non-interchangeable keyways are used on 1970 model cars. One keyway, known as type "J", is used in all ignition, front door door and station wagon tail gate lock cylinders. Type "J" keys will have a square head and be marked similar to keys used for 1969 styles, except that a capital letter "J" will be located on the shank just below the coining on the head, in place of capital letter "E" . In addition, a code num ber within the series OEOO to 9E99, or OFOO to 9F99 will be stamped on the knock-out portion on the key- head. This number identifies the lock combination and is used when ordering or making new keys. The second keyway, known as type "K", is used in the instrument panel compartment, console compart ment, rear compartment, front compartment and sta tion wagon rear floor compartment lock cylinders. Type "K" keys will have oval heads and will be similar to keys used for 1969 styles, except that a capital letter "K" will be stamped on the shank just below the coining on the head, in place of capital letter "H" . In addition, a code number within the series OGOO to 9G99, or OHOO to 9H99 will be stamped on the knock-out portion of the key head. This num ber identifies the lock combination and is used when ordering or making new keys. plug in the key head to facilitate replacement or duplication of key. After the code number has been recorded by the owner, the plugs should be knocked out of the key head. From these numbers, the lock combination can be determined by use of a code list available to owners of key cutting equipment from equipment suppliers. If key code numbers are not available from records or from the "knock-out" plug, lock combination tumbler numbers and position ar rangement can be determined by laying the key on the diagram in Figure 1-4. CUTTING KEYS After the special code has been determined, either from the code list or the Key Code Diagram Figure 1-4 cut a blank key to the proper level for each of the six tumbler positions, and check the key in the lock cylinder. The new key should agree with the combina tion opposite the code number in the code list. REPLACEMENT LOCK CYLINDERS New lock cylinders are available from the servicing Parts Warehouse with the new lock cylinder locking bar staked in place. Tumblers are also available and must be assembled into the cylinder according to the procedure outlined below. ASSEMBLY AND CODING LOCK CYLINDERS ALL LOCK CYLINDERS EXCEPT GLOVE AND CONSOLE COMPARTMENTS Fig. 1-3-Typical Vehicle lndentification Number Keycode numbers are stamped on the "knockout" Tumblers for all locks except the glove and console

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION compartments are shaped exactly alike, with the excep tion of the position of a notch on one side. As the key is inserted in the lock cylinder, the tumblers are raised to the correct height so that the notches on each tumbler are on the same level. When the notches on all six tumblers line up, the locking bar is pushed into the notches by two small springs, allowing the cylinder to turn in its bore. Five types of tumblers are used to make all the various lock tumbler combinations and each is coded according to a number, 1 through 5, stamped on its side. 1. Determine lock cylinder tumbler numbers and tumbler arrangement by use of a numerical key code lock cylinder code list. Code lists are made available to owners of key cutting equipment by equipment suppliers. NOTE: To determine which tumblers should be installed in what position for a given key, when a code list is not available, proceed as follows: a. Lay the key on the Key Code Diagram Figure 1-4 with the key outlined by the diagram as accurately as possible. b. Starting at the head of the key blade, deter mine and record the lowest level tumbler number that is visible in position 1 and subsequent position numbers 2 through 6. Af ter tumbler numbers and arrangement have been determined, assembly as follows: 2. Starting at the open end head of the cylinder, insert the tumblers in their proper slots in the order called for by the code, as shown in Figure 1-5. 3. Pull out side bar with fingers so that tumblers will drop completely into place Fig. 1-5. Insert one tumbler spring in the space provided above eath tumbler. NOTE: IF THE SPRINGS BECOME TANGLED, DO NOT PULL THEM APART -UNSCREW THEM. 4. Insert the spring retainer so that the two end prongs slide into the slots at either end of the cylinder. Press the retainer down See Figure 1-6. 5. To determine if tumblers have been properly in stalled, insert key into lock cylinder. If tumblers are installed properly the side bar will drop down. If bar does not drop down, remove the key, spring retainer, springs and tumblers and reassemble correctly. POSITION LEVELS Fig. 1-4.Key Code Diagram

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-7 Fig. 1-6-Installing Spring Retainer NOTE: If the tumblers have not been assembled correctly, they can be removed from the cylinder by holding cylinder with the tumbler slots down, pulling the side bar out with the fingers and jarring the cylinder to shake the tumblers out. This procedure is necessary because once the tum blers have been pressed down into the cylinder they are held in their slots by the side bar. 6. If, after checking, it is found that the lock cylinder is assembled properly, remove key and secure cylinder in a vise with spring retainer exposed. NOTE: Use leather or wood at each vise jaw to prevent damage to the cylinder. 7. Using a suitable staking tool, stake the spring retainer securely in place by staking the cylinder metal over the retainer at each end. Refer to Figure 1-6. ASSEMBLING AND CODING GLOVE AND CONSOLE COMPARTMENT LOCK CYLINDERS Only one type of tumbler is used to make the various lock tumbler combinations for glove and console com partment locks. Tumblers for these two lock cylinders are pre-assemblied in the service replacement lock cylinder and require that a correctly coded key be inserted in the cylinder before and during cylinder coding. As the key is inserted in the coded lock cylinder, each tumbler is depressed so that no part of any tumbler is exposed above the level of the lock cylinder thereby allowing the cylinder to turn in its bore.

1-8 GENERAL INFORMATION four or five tumblers rather than six as used in other locks. Tumblers are used in positions 3-4-5-6 or 2-3-4- 5-6 only. Tumblers which correspond to positions 1 and/or 2 on the key are not used. The non-brass, black "tumbler" that is closest to the head of the four tumbler lock cylinder is a locking device and must NOT be removed or filed See Figure 1-7. 1. Insert properly coded key in cylinder. 2. Place cylinder in a vise, bottom side up, using leather or wood at each vise jaw to prevent damage to the cylinder. 3. File tumblers down so that no part of any tumbler extends above the lock cylinder. NOTE: Do not file any part of the non-brass, black "tumbler" retainer on four tumbler lock cylinders. This is a locking bar and should not be altered. 4. Reverse lock cylinder position in vise and repeat step 3 for top of tumblers See Figure 1-8. GLASS POLISHING REMOVAL OF MINOR SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS- Description Minor glass scratches and abrasions can be effectively removed or substantially reduced by utilizing the pro cedure and precautions presented in this section. The phases of glass polishing discussed in this section in clude the equipment required, the recommended pro cedure and the precautions necessary. There are two basic types of automotive glass: 1 laminated safety plate all windshield and skylight glass and 2 solid tempered safety plate all side windows and back glass, except skylight. A major concern in glass polishing is preventing dou ble vision from developing in areas that will distort driver’s vision. For this reason, less polishing can be done on the windshield in the driver’s line of vision than in other areas. Distortion is most likely to result when attempting to remove deep scratches. Glass polishing is an operation that must be per formed with reasonable care. NOTE: This operation must not be performed on the inside surface of rear window glass equipped with rear window electric grid defogger heating elements in glass. The equipment and procedures recommended here were developed using cerium oxide compound Glass Nu or equivalent. Follow the manufacturer’s direc tions if other materials are used. The following equipment is recommended for glass polishing: 1. A low speed 600-1300 RPM rotary polisher Skil Model No. 570 or equivalent. mately three inches in diameter and two inches thick. 3. Powdered cerium oxide Glass-Nu or equivalent mixed with water as the abrasive compound. 4. A wide mouth container to hold the polish. Glass Polishing Procedure 1. Mix at least three heaping tablespoons of cerium oxide Glass-Nu or equivalent with sufficient wa ter to obtain a creamy consistency. NOTE: If a larger proportion of cerium oxide Glass-Nu or equivalent is used, the compound cakes on the felt pad faster. If a smaller propor tion is used the polishing time required will in crease. 2. Agitate the mixture occasionally to maintain a creamy consistency. The powdered cerium oxide is insoluable in water and tends to separate. 3. Draw a circle around the scratches on the opposite side of glass with a marking crayon or equivalent. Draw other lines directly behind scratches to serve as guides in locating the scratch during polishing Fig. 1-9. 4. Use masking paper where needed to catch drip pings or spattered polish. 5. Dip the felt pad attached to the polisher into the mixture several times to insure that the pad is well saturated. NOTE: Never submerge or allow the pad to stay in the mixture as it may loosen the bond between the pad and the metal plate. 6. Using moderate, but steady, pressure, hold the pad flat against the scratched area of the glass, and with a feathering-out motion, polish the affected area as shown in Figure 1-9. 2.
