Ok, so I've spent the last two days adjusting the valves in my new project.

New pushrods and about 5 hours. Started her up and man what a difference. Then I went to drive it out of the driveway, and it died. Tried to start and the battery is dead. Not surprised.'

Get the jumper cables and the burban, hook everything up, turn the ignition and snap, the key breaks off.

Ok, it was the only key. I know this was stupid of me but I've been trying several places and none had the right blank.

Any ideas? Can a locksmith make a key from the lock? I've checked LMC and they have the locks, and the ignition switch but not a set that's key'd alike. Me likes the one key setup. Anyone been down this road?

Thanks.
