Steering colomn question

[65Vart]

Ever seen this? The new colomn I got seems to be 90 degrees out when I put the wheel back on here is why. Strange. Here is the way the keys line up old colomn compared to the new. (90 degree difference) am I missing something?

I just changed the column when doing a 4 spd conversion & converting from power steering box to manual box & installing new pitman arm..... I found my wheel off by 30 deg.

Took it in for a re-alignment & there was plenty of adjustment available to get the steering wheel right.

Consequently I think you'll be going in for a re-alignment too & will get similiar results.....my guess is not to worry..........

ps: perhaps your column is from a different year?

The other end is a 4 bolt pattern so 90 degrees is ok. What years are we talking about?

Looks like I sent you a power steering coupler. Check out my low quality pics for comparison. Power steering on the left and manual on the right. You can see the roll pin goes in 90 degrees off also. I will send the correct coupler tomorrow.

Hey Scott, No harm no foul. Mike sent me some great clean pieces. This saves me some work. I pulled my old steering shaft to intall in the new colomn...this is a releif. :glasses8:
