[Mgs] Failed ignition lock in '70 B.

[Andrew Lundgren]

I'm not sure that is right. The keys on the sets of '70 locks that I have
are so different they won't even go in the key holes.

My '78 has three different keys, all original from the build sheet, and
they are very different as well.
 If it doesn't open 'em all it's prolly not the original.
