Does this column stuff appear to be ok? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am holding up a sale thread because I don't know what I have - I am changing out to a T400 and this column I have. Can anyone tell me if my pointer, etc. look adequate? It needs to be cleaned up but I don't know enough to tell if the fiber optic part is good or if I should get another one. Thanks all for the help. I think it's a 69-72 column correct?

place a #194 bulb in the socket power it up with 12vdc ( add the power on the brass tabs at the bulb socket) and look at the shift ind. it should a light in there like the 194 bulb. the fiber optic part is good if you have light. the fiber optic cable is good in 99% of the time. the pointer looks good. good luck, 463

thanks 463 - I was in bed and realized I was holding someone else up so I got up, went out and took the pics, made the post and just couldn't think of how to keep it simple.. guess I get up EARLY to try it in the am.... before work.... ugh.

just aim the end towards any light source... even the sun.

Thank LM - I left too early this am - I'll hit it with a flashlight perhaps when I get home... or the 12v bulb.. I have some spares. I stepped aside on the for sale item until I can say for sure it's what I need...
