Putting it out there to see if anybody has a 1985 ignition lock set for 240. I’m not finding anything available. Thanks

You mean a key and ignition lock cylinder?

Maybe. Let me see if the column from my former '85 GLT is in the garage still.
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.
'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap - SOLD/GONE
The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '87 F-150 5.0

I have an '85 244 parts car. It may still have all the components seen in the photo that was posted by Chuck W.

Next week I'll be able to look around and see if I can find it. I'll report back on my findings.

That being said,I'd think that you'd have a lot of interchange year options on this part.

The pic I posted is of the '85 column that I have in my garage.

So, it looks like Chuck W. Gots what Byron needs.

I know that I've swapped the entire ignition/steering column bracket from one year to another before....

Aren't all 240s compatible in this way?

The ignition assembly is different in later years in that it is pressed onto the column, instead of clamped to it.
I think the cut-off is airbag or not.
