ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1968-69 Mustang - Manual (Page 4)

The first few tasks, you can do easier with the column on a work bench be-
fore you put it in the car!
Wiring:
Included in the kit are male and female white plastic connectors and male
& female terminals. The wiring from the switch can be made to fit either
this connector OR the original connector. The pins are the same size as the
original.
Using Original Connector:
(Easiest!)
Remove the pins from the original
wiring block on the original steering
column and insert the wires on your
new steering column into their prop-
er location on the original block.
The color codes should match up.
You will more than likely have to use
a tool to remove the pins from the plastic connectors. Above are the two types
of tools commonly used.
Go back into the cabin of the car and remove
the bolts that hold the column to the dash
mount. The ‘68 and the ‘69 dash mounts are
very different. (Figure 5)
Remove the column and take it to a work
bench and remove the two nuts that secure
the column to the underdash mount. Now
comes a couple of things that will make ev-
ery Ford enthusiast happy. This new steer-
ing column from ididit has a
Ford top shaft, a Ford turn signal
switch and 8 tilt positions! It is
not an exact copy of your origi-
nal column though. It is much
heavier duty but will still fit in
your car perfectly. ididit has
taken a long time to engineer it
to bolt exactly in your Mustang.
