What do you mean by keyless entry? Do you mean door poppers or just
automatic locks?
On my 78 El Camino I had just the door lock solenoids - I loved it, never
had a problem in 5-6 years. Recently though, I went up another level -
shaved the handles completely and installed poppers. I actually like this
function much more - the doors OPEN automatically. It's like having a valet
<grin>.
I have both a mechanical and an electrical backup in case there is a
problem. I won't explain the mechanical for security purposes (ping me
offline) but electrical is quite simple - an extra cable for my hood latch
was hidden under the vehicle. If she is dead, then I can pop the hood from
the outside and jump her - thereby getting in to the vehicle. The
mechanical backup allows me to open the door mechanically if the poppers
fail.
Good luck!
