Re: What automatic steering column

If you shifter is hard to move or moves freely only in a certian range then hangs up or won't go into park check out the shifter pionter. I had two coloums in two days do that while I was in the process of putting tilt in my 68. The shifter pionter had broken and fallen down into the coloum and kept the shifter mechanism from moving all the way through its range. I fished out the broken pieces and it woks fine. Jim

Re: What automatic steering column

the 67 - 72 non tilts were a bad design period.
I would look for a van tolt out of a 72 - 81 chevy/GMC van. Fairly cheap and fairly easy to come across.
