part number help tilt column 72

[gn4u2c2]

yes I used the search feature but no clear anwser
I work at GM dealer but parts guy is not able to locate these older parts without the #'s they no longer have the pre 82 microfilm or books.

I need the cancel cam for tilt
I need the upper steering column bearing, for tilt
I need the upper thrust washer(wedge washer) for tilt
I need new upper thrust washer/wedge nut

I understand the race is not avalible if anyone has found a suitable replacement please advise thanks

If you do not have a anwser please don't post trying to keep a clean neat to the point thread thanks.

im no help but which dealer you work for? i work at McCullough AKA Koons Pontiac in marlow heights

[gn4u2c2]

Frankel GMC Owings Mills .

I belive I found the issue looking here http://www.americanclassic.com/asp/d...=1972&ytype=to

It looks like my tilt column has a non tilt bearing assembly in it as it does look like its been serviced but it is just to small of a bearing for the housing.
If I don't get a definate GM part number for the correct one I will just order it there and roll the dice.

I have alot of suspension work and bolt ons only with 100 shot. car looks dead stock my best run was 11.02 @ 121 not bad for 128,000 and never had a valave cover off. I know I need to replace valvesprings and timing set soon but it runs so good I don't want to f-with it.
