I upgraded my steering to power from an early 80's donor in the early 90's, but the steering wheel seems so much closer to me than it used to be. I cannot recall everything I had done, but I did use the later steering column (non tilt) with the ignition in the column.

Can someone with a 60-66 measure from the dash tip to the top of the steering wheel in the center? Mine measures 9". I read somewhere that I might need to shorten the column I am using, but I'd like an original starting point if someone can help me.

Thanks!
