Is an ignition lock reuseable?

Need to replace the ignition switch in my 69 Cuda, can you remove the old ignition lock and reinstall in the new ignition switch?, If so how do you do it?? Been trouble shooting a no start, seems like the run part of my ignition switch is not suppling power to the coil.
The "run" circuit would not contribute to a no start, since it isn't active during starting. If you haven't got spark when starting, it would be in your start circuit, not the run circuit. (IGN1 is run, IGN2 is start- you do have a FSM, right?).
Better double-check your troubleshoot.
This is all assuming you have factory ignition.
Did you check the ballast resistor?
Since IGN2 bypasses the ballast resistor while starting, it takes the ballast out of the equation for a no start.
