				The firebird that I won in an auction does not have keys. It appears as though I can drill out the keyhole and use a screwdriver? What size bit? 1/4 " screwdriver blade? If I was Jack Bauer, I wouldn't need any of this stuff... |

				You'll need the resister setting for the pass key security, or you'll need a prom or a tune that disables it (the '93's were the last year that used a "prom" or a "chip", the 94 and up cars are uploaded with a tuner like we're used to these days). Otherwise, you can just screw a slide hammer into the ignition cylinder (where the key goes) and "BOOM", remove it (this will cause some damage to the column, no big deal on a lemons car, more of an issue on a driver or potential driver) then start with a screwdriver or pliers. But you're going to have to deal with the security system (VATS) first.
