Just a follow up to what I found.. The column had been collapsed by about an inch or so. Took some vise grips and attached near the undo of the shaft and somewhat gently tapped the vise grips. I continued until I got the column back to length. Put it right back in car and it fit like a glove...
Yes the coupler slides all the way on but when I install the column the end of it barely fits in the coupler. The column is way too short. The column firewall brackets are flush against the firewall right where they should be.
Yes the shaft and installed kit slid fine inside coupler before...
Thanks for thoughts! I did bolt the firewall plates up but not tight. Did grease the inside of the coupler and a little on box shaft too. Made sure the guts fit correctly too.
Moparnation74, I saw those but looking at the diagram in the auction, I can't get the column end in the coupler far...
Here's a pick of the column in the coupler as far as it can go and still not even close to being the
Correct length from the gauge hole (13/16") to top of coupler. My estimation it's about 3/4" too short! Collapsed maybe somewhere?
ok I might be in the wrong place (general) but I gotta still ask..
Story...
Putting the column back in my 69 charger tonight..
When install coupler on firm feel new stage 2 box, it doesn't go down all the way on the shaft. It's about 3/8" too short to get to the roll pin spot. It the wants to...
Oh yes, I've had issues. These covers run off vacuum produced by the engine. You'll want to check all those lines and make sure not dry rotted and the connections are good. Specially if everything else checks out that moparnation mentioned above. Then the canister is under the battery tray and...
I'll pop in here too! Lion and RC are right on. These suckers can and will get expensive in a hurry! I searched for 3 years before I got the charger I wanted for the price I wanted. But guess what? It's still costing me money! You do get what you pay for and I decided that a good R/T was going...

Here's a pic of the adjustable pushrod to measure and an actual pushrod from my 383.
When I did the measurements, I had a guy with me who knew geometry of the pushrods to rockers and knew valve lash. I was a newbie at it all too so I was good to go putting in the measuring pushrod but that was...
I put a set of adjustable rockers on my 383 a couple years ago. Found out that there really isn't an exact length for all. As Texas.. said, you'll need an adjustable pushrod to measure the length. Once you get your rockers on and get geometry right, measure the pushrod and then order a set...
