I extracted this information from Fred Sahms off of the old Topica Loopframe_Guzzi news group (which has now moved to Groups.io) AND from Key Men AND from Keys4Classics AND from the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club (MGNOC) publication Tips for Guzzis, Volume II AND from Charlie Mullendore of Antietam Classic Cycle, AND from Bill Dudley.

The ignition switch was made by Magneti Marelli (Italian company). There will be a letter code followed by two numbers stamped on the switch. The letter code, usually E or F or G, indicates the key code blank that you'll need.

E series key blanks (code series E1 - E78):

Ilco R63SP key blank. Note: The key pattern shown is the keyhole that the key goes into, not the view from the tip of the key.
