ever had one of those days? I finally worked on the vert, put in firewall pad *& hook ed the heater box up, then started the conversion to manual steering. I've had the parts for some time--- The short version is I swapped the manual steering shaft to my power steering column (floor shift), got it painted nice & purdy--- placed it in the car . Went to put the donor column back together & whoa-- the spring washer that fits under the column is sitting on the bench!!!
will disassemble another day-- put the car up & left the tools in a pile, not on my 2nd refreshing beverage!!
