It was fairly easy to drop the lower panel under the steering wheel to access the ignition switch and cylinder. Since I didn't have keys, I went ahead and ordered a switch along with the cylinder and replaced both at the same time. It would have been nice to have the original set of Lincoln keys, but this got me going again and my car isn't a super high dollar restoration. It took a little bit of finesse to get the cylinder to click into the switch. All in all, I'm back in business and have keys that will work with my vehicle. Review: exact fit and design - great replacement, as originally equipted ## Features - The Package Height of the Product is 3.81 centimeters - The Package Length of the Product is 5.588 centimeters - The Package Width of the Product is 8.636 centimeters - Part number: US23LT ## Images ![Standard Motor Products, Inc. - Lock Cylinder (US-23LT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TPKBaCFQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for 1966 Lincoln Continental *by S***R on August 26, 2024* I purchased a 1966 Lincoln Continental without keys. It was fairly easy to drop the lower panel under the steering wheel to access the ignition switch and cylinder. Since I didn't have keys, I went ahead and ordered a switch along with the cylinder and replaced both at the same time. It would have been nice to have the original set of Lincoln keys, but this got me going again and my car isn't a super high dollar restoration.

Once you figure it out it is simple but you have to do it right. #1. The lock cylinder fits into the ignition cylinder US85. #2 But the lock does not fit all the way in the cylinder. #3. Here is the trick. There is a pin on the rim of the ignition cylinder. Insert the paper clip down through the tiny hole in the top of the lock cylinder when you move the key to center it over the pin. #4. Move left or counterclockwise the key past the pin. #5. Now force the lock down in the clylinder making sure the bottom tab is lined up with the bottom recess of the cylinder. #6. Then move the key clockwise and you are all set. #7. If you installed it right the key will spring back from the far right postion. Just like it should when starting a car or truck. #8. If you didn't do it right the key will just act dead instead of springing back. I know because I did it wrong several times. I wrongly set the lock with the key far right instead of left past the pin. #9 This seems to be an old Ford generic key lock set up. I installed mine in a 1995 Ford L8000 which is a semi truck. I suspect a lot of old Fords of various models had the same set up. #10 It may take a while but don't give up. It was aggravating at first because I could not remove the key. You can only remove the key once it is set in the cylinder. But keep in mind you can set it wrong and still remove the key. It is only set right when the key springs back as if you were starting the vehicle. #11. Good luck. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/43176813-standard-motor-products-inc-lock-cylinder-us-23lt](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/43176813-standard-motor-products-inc-lock-cylinder-us-23lt) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
