I have finally finished a set of papers on disassembling and repairing the standard (non-adjustable) steering column for the 1969 through 1976 Chevelle. They are posted at www.corvettefaq.com/A-Car.asp (http://www.corvettefaq.com/A-Car.asp)

There are three papers along with line drawings, a blowup pic, and a set of pictures of the column mounting and steering wheel. The papers detail repairs that are in sequence.

Paper #1 involves column repairs that can be completed with the column in the car. (i.e. tighten turn lever screw, replace lock cylinder and key warning buzzer).

Paper #2 involves dropping the steering column down from the dash and removing it from the car. You then can replace the turn signal switch and ignition switch.

Paper #3 removes the column head from the column and will assist in replacing the plastic ignition sector and the rack that actuates the ignition switch.

Hope these help.

That will help! Thanks.
