1970 Chevelle used to have a three speed on the column but somebody put in a tilt steering column and it has significant lateral play, if anybody knows of a fix or part replacment I would like to be able to fix it

Do a search (top of this page) for "loose column" , someone posted very detailed instructions. You may need to look in several different forums to find the info. The info is also in a CHilton or Haynes repair manual and the Chassis service manual from chevrolet. I found this: http://www.chevelles.com/forum/Forum29/HTML/002555.html in the Chevelle Tech 2000 forum. ------------------ Rick 72 El Camino (http://www.endrud.net/elcamino/rick1972elky.html) TPI 350/700r4 (http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L) NECOA #00149 (http://www.necoa.org/images/Elky149.jpg) ACES #00140 TEAM CHEVELLE #0038 "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and misapplying the wrong remedies" [This message has been edited by rick (edited 10-23-2002).] | ||
