Key cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When an ignition lock is mounted on the steering wheel (mine is a '73) what holds the little chrome tabs that help you turn the key into the column? I know that it is supposed to be able to come off when it is in the ACC position but what makes it stay on. Mine keeps falling off. I have gotten a couple from the junkyard and installed them but they won't stay in. Does the coulmn hol it or the cylinder that the key goes in hold it? I don't want to buy a new part for it and it still not work.
Thanks
