I have seen all this. But until today, I have never seen such a pain in the ars car like this 68 Charger!

There is a bolt inside that holds the lock cylinder in.  Remove the steering wheel, lock plate, horn cam, and turn signal switch.  Then you can see it.  It is probably a torx head.

Just be careful with the little "Switch" that is for the "Dinger"..IT has to be removed BEFORE you can access the Torx bolt that is holding in the ignition lock cylinder...

A good pair of needle nose pliers are your friend when removing that switch over the torx screw. While you've got that mush out of the way, you might as well tighten up the screws that hold the tilt stuff together. A long 1/4" drive extension, a chrome swivel, and a 1/4" socket. You can only get to 3 of them.
