I haven't heard that, what is probably happening is the whole thing is lose and turning the key or screwdriver turns the cylinder instead of the internal parts check that first, if that's fine replace the cylinder with one off a newer car (my bravada uses the same ones as the camaro and it's a '94)

most good alarms have basically imobilizers in them, on that car though the best thing is redundancy don't waste money on the club (thieves love it gives leverage to break the column lock)look at some of the excaliber stuff, and crime stopper for the cheap end both are very good with low failure rates, plan on spending a couple hundred bucks for decent stuff
