Philip, I cant get into where tey are to loook right now. I am not sure what they were, but it was 3 brands, one was an odd one like AO Smith or something.

I only have some Bowsers and a Bennett to try them on.

Would there not have to be a special notch or something on a master to make it work on all locks? Some way to tell if it is a master or regular key?.. maybe that would be too easy..maybe a lack of a notch??

When I was striping pumps for parts (I had over 200 pumps at one time) I found that most locks had been drilled out so anything would open them, even a screw driver.

Yes, Philip, I have a 66 GTO and a 69 Grand Prix. This is my 3rd goat. I had a 66, 389 4 speed when I was younger, then had a 67 years later. This 66 my wife & I tore down to the frame & rebuilt over 5 years. It has a later 400 in it.....but a "correct" 389 WS (tri-power) block sits under the bench awaiting a re-build. And there`s a rebuilt tri-power for it. Pics at: http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&groupid=238584&ck

oldgto:
Killer car and garage! I love how you did it all. Your car has a great color combo. Mine was originally Montego Cream with a black vinyl top and gold interior. The original owner had it painted it's one and only time to a bright red color (about 14 years ago) with no vinyl top. He had plans to change the interior to black, but he never got around to it. (Thankfully) I plan on changing it back to how it is supposed to be. I love the original color scheme alot so I can't wait to get it changed back!

These nice old goats are getting pretty hard to find unless you have very deep pockets. I don't see to many GTO's driving around Oklahoma anymore, every once in a while.

Anyway thanks for sharing! I'll send you some pics of our car to your email address.

Have a Merry Christmas!!!

PS I love your clockface pump.

dodogas: I understand about not being able to get to them right now. No problem. Please whenever you can. I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm unsure of how to tell or even if you can tell just by looking if it's a master key or not.

I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks again!!

Jack Sim: Your luck must be better than mine. LOL. I've got eight pumps and two of the eight are locked shut.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

Tokheim: I got the key Tuesday in the mail.
Thanks again!

I fiddled around the Erie and found that the doors slid up and off when pryed up from the bottom. Upon further inspection I found the lock actuator bars are missing. So I won't have to even drill out the lock after all. I also found a rather large snake skin shed towards the top of the pump! Yikes!!

Thunder II: I had read that post previously and it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the skin. Strangely enough I didn't even think about a snake when I was loading it up. I will on the next pump though. LOL
