I lost my keys to my Firebird, So I'm going to buy a new ignition switch w/ keys. So how Would I go about installing it?

Thanks!
 
Mason for this you need your repair manual, there are minute steps that need followed and make sure you have the correct tools!
 
once you remove the horn pad by unscrewing the screws from the back, you will need a special tool to compress the lock plate that locks the whell while in the lock posation. Remove the bolt and there will be a snap ring that will hold the lock plate onto the steering-shaft. With the lock plate removed, the lock-cylander can be removed by removing the 7/16 coller bolt and pull right. out. Use the old pinion gear and reinstall. The actual electric switch sits on top of the steering column under the dash
