Check the upper and lower bearings, the lower especially can be rusted/gritty/worn. Break-away washers are typically brittle or broken, replace them. Upper collar can be banged up from mishandling. Ballpark $100 for a 68-9 AT column, complete with collar and wiring.
69 was the first years for ignition switches in the steering column. 68 was still in the dash otherwise columns are simular.
My '69 has the ignition switch in the dash. I'm fairly certain '70 was the first year for the switch in the column. That's why 67-69 columns should be interchangeable.
I must have a 70 column then, thought I had extracted it from a 69. Anyway was installed in a 59 Chevy pickup and now sitts in storage for later use.
Did you want to get rid of the 70 column????
That's what i paid CND$100 - also picked up a spare mounting bracket, (refinished in black, but missing the white break-away capsules and mounting hardware) for a $20 bill. If anyone knows where the plastic bits can be ordered from...please post or message me. I am in Alberta, Canada. Thank you in advance for any leads.
