Hi - my name is Pat and I own a 71 Satellite which has been cloned into an LAPD police car of that era. It has authentic markings, lights, and the interior and all equipment is era-correct.

I am looking for info to lower the steering column to remove the instrument cluster. The shop manual says to remove the upper column clamp and that will lower the column. I have removed the three nuts from the studs from the column bracket to no avail. I would like to drop the column to seat level if possible.

That is so cool! Do you have any trouble with the police when you drive it?
Thanks, Dan. Not so far, Dan. I'm a retired police officer and have driven it past troopers across Iowa and Nebraska. Our car club, Police Car Owners of America, tells us to cover the lights and markings. Heck, that's part of the enjoyment of driving it letting people see it!
