Starting A Chevy Without A Key

 

               The most common General Motor Steering Column is the “A,” type. This Type of steering column was installed in almost every GM vehicle from 1973-1993, and they are stupid simple. Let’s say one morning  you are running super late to school or work and you have seemed to have misplaced your only set of keys you don’t show up you either flunk or are fired. But then again you drive an older Chevy with an A type column and with a screw driver and some brawn it will start. Your first step will be breaking the lock on the steering column. This can be accomplished by firmly placing your hands at the ten and two driving positions and twisting the wheel back and forth forcefully until you hear a snap and the wheel turns freely. Your nest step will be to  insert the tip of your screwdriver behind the tumbler  where you would normally insert your key then pry back. (on older models the casing is metal but on later models it is plastic) Once you have peeled  back the casing you will now have an exposed a rod  which will easily bend out. This will be your new key, pull to start push in to shut off the engine. Now hopefully you can make it to work or school on time!
