I installed the van tilt and gauge cluster today. I am going to have to pull the column back out because when I installed it I moved it down so the steering wheel would be a little closer to the dash. I used one of the two factory locator slots in the mast jacket and it moved it down too far. If I use the lower slot it would move it up too far. I think I will just drill a hole for the locator tang instead of cutting a new slot since I know exactly where it has to be now. The steering wheel is not going to stay, I just put it on there for the picture. I will either use a '67-'68 wheel that I have, or get one of the new 15" stock type wheels.
