Dont feel bad man, I just picked one up for my '73 and I sat there for a good 15 minutes trying to figure it out before I busted out the Dewalt and drilled a hole thru the clip and column...done! hehe Works like a champ now...I have a working indicator, lights in my dash, working dome lights and some tunes all in a days work! I love working on this thing, too bad its a money pit.
