Key pulls out even when in the on position. #1096011 04/07/2015 5:31 PM

newmexicojesse 'Bolter N Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 14 Albuquerque, NM	I have a 1953 Chevy 3100. The key can be pulled out of the ignition even when in the on position. The problem is that I have burnt out two coils in the last month by accidentally leaving the ignition in the on position. Do I have to replace the tumbler mechanism to fix this or is there and easier way?
