ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1967 Mustang - Manual (Page 7)

Next, slide the floor mount plate, clamp and gasket up the tube of the your
new Mustang column. The nut on the clamp should be on the bottom of
the tube and facing the driver’s side door/fuse box. You can temporarily
hold the mount in place with a piece of masking tape while you install the
column in the car. At this part of the installation an extra set of hands
may be very helpful. With one hand in the middle of the column and one
at the top, slide the column between the pedals and through the hole in
the firewall. Engage the coupler onto the gearbox. Set the column up
into the original dash mount* and loosely install the original bolts into the
original clamp. The tab on the dash mount should be toward the firewall
and engaged into the slot in the bottom side of the tube on the steering
column. Depending on its condition, you may want to replace the rubber
in the dash mount. (We have found that a great substitute is the rubber
from a bicycle inner tube you may have laying around.)
(ididit does have a ‘67 Mustang underdash mount made
for this application if you have misplaced or trashed your
original. That part number is: 2312300010)
Now, if everything is positioned well, you can go back and tighten every-
thing up. Start with the dash mount and tighten original two bolts to 108
– 156 inch lbs*. Next, tighten up the coupler set screw and locking nut to
manufacturer’s specs. Lastly, remove the tape holding the floor mount to
the column. Using the 3 sheet metal screws, secure the floor mount and
gasket to the firewall. Then tighten the floor mount clamp onto the mount
tabs and column to 50 inch lbs*.
*(not foot pounds)
After removing all items from the package,
assemble the knobs onto the levers. The tilt
lever (shorter of the two levers) goes on the
left side of the column in the hole closest to
the dash. The column has a threaded hole
that this lever threads into. (Figure 9)
The turn signal lever (longer of the two levers)
goes on the left side of the column in the
hole closest to the driver. The column has
a threaded hole that this lever threads into.
