I went to the autoparts store to get a new lock cylinder +keys for my datto ignition. (previous owner lost the keys)Came up with a 6 and 7 pin. Will both work in the ignition? Or is there a size difference.

Anybody know? Tech wiki doesn't say specifically but I'll keep searching.

I used an an old toyota celica key to get mine to turn wen i lost my keys... it worked :)

Sorry i cant help much mroe than that mate

Sounds like luck to me haha

I think I need to start looking for old Celica keys

my old utes ignition use to open with a nail file. Probably because it was so worn. There are aftermarket ones on ebay at the moment.

Was it a 6 or 7 pin?

as in how many electrical pins are in the back?

pretty sure the stock ones are only 5 pin

Well, on the back of the switch it's a 5 pin electrical.
I'm referring to the lock pins. I'd had to order one just to find out it's not going to fit.

Why not order one for a 1974 B210?

I get the same results. They offer me a 6 and 7 pin(tumbler). I just want to make sure that the one I buy is going to fit before ordering it.
