Going through and replacing an ignition switch on the '74. While in there i figured i would lube the assy. Currently the column lock will not "release" into the column to lock it.

Upon inspection the "cylinder" side will not retract back towards the key when the key is removed thereby not allowing the guide pin and column lock to drop into the lock position. With a little nudge the tumbler will retract but not unaided. Is this a symptom of a worn key or key wafers?
