Carl,
You should have a lever type on your GPA. Keys were eleminated early 1942, as far as I know all GPA's have lever ignitions.

After Willys mb202023 end jan. '43 the key type changes into switch.
This change was done in the Ford production abouth that same time
but most of the times a little later.

Bob,
Thanks for letting me know. I was 1 year mistaken :oops:
After checking my files Ford changed from GPW-3686 key type to GPW-3686-B handle from late december 1942. For the GPA it will assumably be from start januari 1943.
My GPA #8787 had the lever type on it, Carls GPA is a little later in production, so he will still be needing the lever type ignition switch.
