Its a 70 nova with coulmn shift. I dont have a ignition key so iam trying to get the lock cylinder out and have a key made. Iam 23 years old and have not had but one older coulmn apart so iam not sure what do do from here? the clip on the top of the pic will not come out,does it go threw the back? and when i take out the other two bolts the parts will not sperate for me to release the lock cylinder if anyone can help me that would be great and if not i guess i can take it all out and had it over to a old timer at work LOL Thanks

You need to knock out the casting flash in this little rectangular window then insert a small screwdriver to push the tab then the cylinder will pull out.
