I have a 1992 Chevy S-10. I lost the original ignition key, so I went to use my spare ignition key. It will not even start to fit in the ignition.
I assume that I have the correct "profile" on a key blank with the incorrect pathway.
My local dealer has been no help. How can I determine the type of blank that I need to have the correct "profile" transferred to? I do not even know where to begin... Thanks for any help you can provide...
First I'd advise you to take the key into a locksmith rather than a hardware or department store and give them the make/model.
According to the information the ignition should be cut on a P1098E/B44 blank. Hope that helps.

Well, there's only four they used since 1966, or so. And then they went to the double sided key. If you've got one that doesn't work, then there's only three choices left.
Takes all of a couple seconds to try one each, see if it goes into the lock.
My favorite lock story. Fellow gets a spare key ground. Tries key, which works, and sticks key in his pocket.
Couple days later, keys locked in. Fellow pulls key out of wallet with big smile. Smile fades as he realizes key only fits the ignition, and he needed the OTHER key for the doors.
I was in a hardware store a couple years ago. The fellow asked to get a dup of the two keys for his GM product. One didn't work. Turns out she traced the same ignition key pattern on an ignition blank, and a door blank. Well, the ignition key worked!
The original key blank is a 320404.

your dealer should know the correct blank to use. they can run your vin through tracking and come up with the code and make you a key. If not ? contact your local locksmith for assistance.
