 Most of the cars will start with anything that will slide in the switch.
The keys teeth get worn off slowly and the gates in the switch stick out
more and more wearing grooves in the barrel of the cylinder until there is
really no need for a cut key. So try sticking something in the switch and
see if it will turn. Now if that does not work you can remove the cylinder
and with two new keys file a new key. Not a bad job I stick an uncut key in
the cylinder and then file the other one going off the gates and where they
are sticking out. I do have key blanks by the way if needed. Jim E

 Then you could run a hot wire to the coil and push start it...
