Re: WANTED 73-87 Automatic Tilt Column

You might need to be specific on the correct year you want.
Some control the wipers, with the turn signal lever, some do not.

Edit:
Tried to supply a very useful link, and it's blocked.

Re: WANTED 73-87 Automatic Tilt Column

here are some pics, tilt has slight play nothing major just not 100% tight, the turn signal cam seems to function but when i took the arm off i did notice a crack in it. levers had some surface rust with minor pitting and the tilt lever having more pitting. let me know if this will work for you. column is for sale locally as well. thanks.

I believe 77 won't work. 73-77 used a different steering box then 78 up

Re: WANTED 73-87 Automatic Tilt Column

There was a difference in the power steering lines 73-77 having flare fitting and 78 up having o-ring fitting but columns should be the same from 73-82

Re: WANTED 73-87 Automatic Tilt Column

I am interested. let me find out if the splines off that one are compatible with what I need for mine. I know there are some changes in the year models. I think 80-83 may be slightly different.

Re: WANTED 73-87 Automatic Tilt Column

there were 2 types (spline and 'd') i believe this one is the 'd' style. the lower shaft is the same length so it can be changed out to match the column if needed. im pretty sure i have both lower shaft styles.
