I have a 1967 chevelle with a aftermarket steering wheel. I purchased a correct "original" wheel, but I don't know how to install it. Is there a set of instructions with pictures or someone explain the procedure to me? Thanks.

Remove the bezel or center cap of the steering wheel. You should see a big nut. Remove this. The steering wheel can now be removed with a steering wheel puller. Some well-meaning but misguided fellow might tell you to pry the back of the wheel with a screwdriver while pounding on the end of the shaft with a hammer but DON'T DO THIS. Buy the puller - they are cheap. Once the old one is off the new one should just push on over the splined shaft - make sure you have it centered and the wheels are straight so that the wheel is centered as you are driving. Put the big nut back on and tighten it (I don't know what the spec is for torque but there is no need to bust your knuckles tightening it down). Good luck
