**** Floorshift manual steering column****

It's not on the column...

It's linkage from the reverse shifter lever on the trans. If you can take the key in your car out with the trans in any gear other than reverse, the linkage is missing.

The steering column has an arm on it much like an column auto shifted model that controls the lower collar. Twist that collar and the the key cylinder won't let you get the key out.

Grab a 70 FSM for a diagram of what it looks like.
