Default OEM steering wheel diameter ?
my car has a 14 inch Momo steering wheel installed that was on the car when i purchased it.
its pretty beat up, and since i don't have power steering on the car - takes some muscle to turn in tight spaces.

looking at an OEM type replacement but none of the catalogs mention what diameter the wheel is.
i did search the forum before i asked but couldn't find a relevant thread..

Stock were:

16" 68 only
15" 69-75
76 Vega wheel is one year only
77-82 14" leather wrapped.

You got the Vega wheel again on 77 and 78 cars without tilt/tele.

What year is your car? My 68 has the original steering wheel and is 16" in diameter. I believe beginning in 69 that they went to a 15" wheel.
