Is this the right ignition switch?

[Daytona Guy]

Is this the right ignition switch for a 70 Charger? I don't think so. I do not have mine out so I do not want to start and be stuck? If this is not right - any recommendations?

Any advice? I have never done this before.

ooops - for a 70 Charger

FYI, that's the key cylinder, not the ignition switch.  The ignition switch is inside the column that the key cylinder touches up against.

Check out this thread for pictures, the top picture is accurate for a 70 Charger.

I just pulled my old one down that i replace a couple years ago and nope. the 70 charger key cylinder is shorter and fatter then that one

That's what I thought. It looked too long and thin. Where do I find the right one at a low cost.

Should I take the column out of the car?

I changed a few 70 locks. 1st steering wheel off turn signal switch and lever and I got lock out with out as many steps as book shows.
