Re: Steering column broke

The ignition switch rack and sector gears are pot metal so they can be broken. Most of the little internal bits and pieces can still be purchased from GM or AC Delco.

The 73-77 rack service kit is GM # 7819749 (rack and pushrod)
The 73-77 sector gear on the ignition cylinder is GM # 7805158

Page down to the CK tilt column in the 73-78 parts illustration catalog. This is the key for the section # to lookup the parts in the 73-78 Parts catalog.

The parts books are at the bottom of the 1973-1991 manuals post.

RTFM... GM Parts Books, GM Schematics, GM service manuals, and GM training materials...Please include at least the year and model in your threads. It'll be easier to answer your questions.
And please let us know if and how your repairs were successful.
