Re: Steering wheel
I think that was some part for the Grant adapter but I have never seen one like it. It is definitely not original to the steering column.

Re: Steering wheel
That's a column lock used in 70's GM columns, they probably used it for a spacer on yours if it is a mid 60 column.

Re: Steering wheel
Ohhhh it's a locking plate. That's interesting.
![]() Do you have a 70's steering column or a mid 60's unit? No telling since it's not in your sig. ![]() Cause my 64 doesn't use it.

Re: Steering wheel
Ah, that's a big piece of the puzzle to leave out. I was thinking it was a stock C10 column. No idea on if you can leave it out, as I haven't worked with a Camaro column in years.

Re: Steering wheel
It helps keep the turn-signal cancel cam piece tight against the column's upper bearing. I would imagine it would be better to keep it on and if it didn't have it, find the lock clip[ to keep it tight in place.

Re: Steering wheel
There should be a spring underneath it. I don't know if there will be enough tension to keep the whole assembly from being loose once the retaining spring/ring clip is put back on (above the ring you are showing). Does that make sense? Not sure if I'm explaining it properly. You could try it.
