Re: tilt steering wheel help
Hey Leon,
Sounds like you picked up a van tilt.....thus you may have to relocate the Neutral Safety switch at the bottom of the column....

Re: tilt steering wheel help

Re: tilt steering wheel help
Does your 67 have the original column with the very long shaft? If it does then the Van Tilt will work if you get the later shaft extension (69-72) which is the collapsable part.

Re: tilt steering wheel help
Its easy. Just unbolt the rag joint at the power steering gear and the clamp at the end of the steering column. Drill out the plastic rivets in the newer style end and install!
