In the engine bay re-install the triangular

mount with the 3 bolts, single clamp

and bolt assembly. (Figure 13) If this

is a column shift installation, reinstall

the shift lever at the bottom of the new

column with the provided 4 screws.

1974-75 Rag Joint Installation:

Install the rag joint half onto the new ididit

column. Tighten the bolt on the rag joint to 42ft

lbs. Once the rag joint has been installed on the

new column, connect the lower half to the OE

rag joint and tighten the bolts securely.

1975-76 Rag Joint Installation:

Insert the rag joint minus the pinch bolt. Slide the joint up until the

pinch bolt aligns with the groove in the splined shaft and tighten it

to 42ft lbs. If you need to you can move the column up or down in

the vehicle. You can do this because these bolts that secure the

column to the dash have not been tightened all the way down yet.

Back inside the cabin, plug the two wire connectors back together.

(Figure 14) Install the upper and lower

dash cover.

Note: You may have to

install a washer between the columns

underdash mount and the vehicles

mounting surface. The washer may be

needed to align the column to the dash

cover to reduce the space between the

two dash cover pieces.
