btw, the GM E keys everyone sells will work on the ignition but not on the doors. These NOS keys that are for sale are all later keys (E was used in 73, 77 and 81 also). To make them work on the door locks of a 69 you must lengthen the grooves closer to the square grip area. You'll see what I mean if you compare an old original to an NOS. A dremmel with the thin cutting wheel does a good job. The H trunk key is not affected by this problem
