OK This is easy… the bag with the Dress Up Kit also
contains a black wiring plug adaptor. This should
simply plug into the column on the wide plug, and
then the OEM plug from under the dash (See Figure
14) (See Tech Section 2 if you have an Aftermarket
Harness PG 10)

Now you can verify function of the turn signal switch.

(Figure 14)

Turn Signal Wiring:

With the key in an on position check both left and right turn signals.
Then with key in an off position, check Hazard Flashers, in is on, out is off.
Now the brake circuit can be checked by pressing the brake pedal.

Steering Wheel:

This column will accept any of the aftermarket
steering wheels. We offer adaptors for all the
common aftermarket wheels. We also have a
NEW adaptor just for the factory Chrysler wheel.
This adaptor looks like the original can for this
wheel (See Figure 15) but is available in all the
same finishes as the column. This adaptor will put
the wheel back in the OEM location.

Otherwise when ordering your wheel tell the person it is an ididit column… if that
doesn’t work… and they give you a stupid look, tell them it’s a 1969-1978 GM pas-
senger car. That should do the trick.

We have provided the nut for the top of the column. This nut should be torqued
to 45 FT. LBS. We have also included the horn wire. This normally will attach to the
center lug of most aftermarket horn buttons.

OEM Wheel with our E body Steering Wheel Adaptor
1. Check to verify the driving wheels are straight. On the top of the column there
is a white tube sticking out of the column. This tube should be between the 10:30
and 11:00 o’ clock position. When the wheels are straight. If this is not true gently
turn the white plastic tube to be in this position. Set the adaptor on the shaft of the
column, this may require you to rotate a little to the closest tooth on the spline.
