Steering Wheel Position?
First off, my 68 has been completely taken apart for a couple of years so I can't remember how it was. I am in the process of putting the steering gear, pedal assembly and column back in the car.
Here is what I am finding, the centerline of the seat and the centerline of the steering gear are not lined up. So, I looked at some C3's and found that the steering column is not straight with the centerline of the car and neither is the steering wheel. I assume GM did this to center the wheel on the seat.
Anyone else notice this? Do you get used to it? Seems weird.

Thanks. As I said, I have observed this also. What I would really like to know is, do you get used to this? To me it seems weird.
