Gear selector indicator
I purchased a 1972 Chevy a few months back and the gear indicators do not match the gear that the truck is in. I can line up a couple on either end of the indicator by moving the lickage from the column to the transmisson. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I had the same problem. I adjusted it according to the manual and it still didn't line up. I loosened the column clamps and turned the whole column just a bit, replaced the linkage bushing at the column and transmission, and replaced the upper column bushing so that the lever wasn't as loose. Lines up fine now.

The stock nontilt columns are junk. When everything wears inside, the shifter won't line up right, and it'll bind and/or be too loose...ect.
