The first few tasks, you can do easier with the column on a work bench

before 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 proper

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 re-
move 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
every Ford enthusiast happy. This new
steering column from ididit has
a Ford top shaft, a Ford turn sig-
nal switch and 8 tilt positions!
It is not an exact copy of your
original column though. It is
much heavier duty but will still
fit in your car perfectly. ididit
has taken a long time to engi-
neer it to bolt exactly in your
Mustang.
