(67-72 same I think)
I wanted an automatic column One that was slim with out the key on the column so I could keep the key in the original place. I wanted the diameter of the column to match my old one. I wanted one I didn't have to cut.
I took it apart, replace the bearings and it works great with my 700R4 transmission. I used lokar linkage,no problems but NO tilt.
If you Must have TILT then look for a column out of a Chevy Van. Mid 80's I THINK. I'm sure someone else will remember the years. They are about 30-31" and generally, depending on your application do not have to be cut. | | |
