I have a set of ignition key tumblers with key from a 1973. and i have a 1972 set without a key (both from 142?s). I want to use the 1972 set. Can I put the tumblers from the 1973 into my 1972? How do you remove them?
 
From 72 to 73 are years of many large changes. The whole dash changed. So I'd suggest take a look at the parts catalogs and see how the ignition lock fits up. gcp.se I know it's not a fast way to search but it's Volvos catalogs for those cars.

Are both keys double sided? That would help figure it out. If the 72 key is the early single sided key. I don't think the tumblers would interchange. Possibly the whole lock may.
