ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1974-77 Ford Bronco - Manual (Page 5)

Installation of ididit Column:
Column Shift Note: Now for the installation of the column shift
model. On the work bench take off the 4 screws that hold the shift
arm on the bottom of the ididit column and remove the shift lever.
Set aside.
Install the sheet metal bracket on the
lower part of the tube. This bracket was
included with the OE column. Make sure
it is installed with the 4 screw holes on
the upper half and verify its position on
the vehicle. Now install the rubber sleeve
onto the tube. (Figure 10) If salvageable
you can use your original, however if it is not you will need to order
a new one. This piece is not included in the kit, however we can
get one to you if its needed. Pull the sleeve to the same distance
as original one from the end of shaft. Verify that the mounting holes
align with the holes in the firewall.
Wiring: Unplug the factory plug wires
and transfer the same color wire from
the new column to the original plug one
wire at a time. (Figure 11) This column
uses a 1976-77 Ford switch that has the
same color wires as the original switch
does. If you don’t have the original plug
we have included a pair of plugs, both
male and female, and the wire ends just in case. If you use the plugs
we supply you with, make sure to match color to color on both sides.
Carefully install the column back through
the dash. (Figure 12) At this time a
helper would great. Lower the column
through the firewall and install the two
mounting bolts through the bottom of
the dash. Center these two bolts in the
mounting slots, but do not totally tighten
them just yet. Note: The ididit Steering
Columns underdash mounts are slotted
for easy installation.
