[V8] ignition lock

[Ed Kellock]

Eric's dremel/feeler gauge approach is how I'm proceeding. I've done it
once before on a 90 v8. My original question was regarding the lock
cylinder replacement part itself. I find parts listed different between
year models of v8. For the 1990, they're around 20 bux. For the 93, they're
80 or more. Is there really any difference in the part itself though?
