Default 63 Steering Column NEEDS Twisting

So as not to hijack Olustee bus's thread

Y'all are hurtin' my feel good!



So you're saying this isn't correct either.



I thought it was a little odd the wires were exposed, about 20 degrees clockwise would fix the grove/channel issue. No pictures of the t/s cam and cable workings to confirm what you're saying.

Is the t/s arm in the neutral position parallel to the ground? Or is that off too?

NO! I don't consider you trashing my car!!! I'm open to suggestions as long as you help me fix it!!!!

On the engine side of the firewall where the column comes through for clamping, there is a "tang" that the groove of your column rests in. It is shown in the assembly manual.
