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.
