Great information John I added that information to post #11 above which has discussion/information summary. It appears if you have your own original key, you can for maybe a total under $30 buy a correct blank from MidAmerica and go to WalMart and get that blank key cut as a spare key.

You can measure the resistance of you own key

Take an ohm meter and measure across the little gold chip inside the black area in center of key.....measure from one side to the other

Damn Dynomite, If you had code #8 I could get you an ignition key for under $10.00.

I might be able to get code #7, I'm checking into it for you.

I'm not sure what #'s I have. I have multiple sets on my Corvettes except for my 93, I only have 1 set and that rarely gets driven. I'm going check all mine this week.

I do have an extra ignition key for #14 but I highly doubt any of my cars are #14. Also, its not 100% perfect, it has GM logo on one side and cadillac on the other although I'm sure it would work fine regardless.

If anybody wants to post up their Numbers I could probably get a cheaper rate if we buy multiple keys etc.

Check at a GM dealer. I think most any of them can make a key for around $25 or so. I got a blank off ebay for $12 and then took it to Wally World. They cut the new one and it worked fine.

So a hooker has a set of keys for your car? Bye, bye car. Change some locks instead.

16 codes,16 keys would be my guess.
