i just converted my 71 chevelle shift on the comunm to a shift on the comunm tilt wheel. now i can't get the car to start. i took the old switches off the straight column and put them on the tilt because they were different. has anyone thats done this conversion run into this problem. any help would be apreciated. thanx

The ignition switch that is mounted on the lower part of the column is different on a tilt. It actually works backwards of the non-tilt. The wire plug will still work just turn it over and plug it in.

Mr. Valentine is correct. Use the tilt switch just as he says and just turn the plug around......GT

This is a true statement. Too easy. You know, GM USED to know how to build cars!
