Roadrunner column same as GM?

[FlyByWire]

Hey there fellas. Finally got my dream car (pics below). I’m wanting to swap out the steering wheel to something more fitting to the interior. Having a hard time finding a straight answer.

But.. 69 Roadrunner, tilt column. Are they the same spline count / size as a GM column when it comes to the steering wheel adapter? I’m wanting a Sparc wheel for it but the only options are GM essentially.

Thanks in advance.

Guess you'll have to determine what is in there, as no tilt column came in a '69 Road Runner.

DOH!

Ok yeah that’s step one I suppose

I doubt anyone here will be much help - the only thing I see in the interior pic that might be original is the rear-view mirror?
If even Chrysler, ...maybe the column is from C-body or Imperial?
Good luck. It's the nature of the beast with resto-mods.

I guess I’ll take a deep dive on the InterWeb on how to ID the column. It definitely doesn’t have the feel of a something new / aftermarket.

Thanks for your guys’ time.

And yeah there’s nothing really original left. Perhaps the current adapter is stamped with a part number eh?

Nice looking car, your column might be a Flaming river column.

MoMo steering wheel - maybe 365mm Certo? Possibly start with them to work backwards?
Chrome blinker/adjuster lever tips might make it an Ididit column?

spitballin'....

I bought a Flaming River column with tilt for a 63 Dodge I was building. The spline count & shaft diameter matched a Chevy steering wheel. I'm guessing because they are more popular, it's more than likely it's the same as a GM car. Best to do a spline count & measure shaft diameter to be sure.

IDDIT is fairly popular

so you got this car with any paper work . i saved every recite in a file to pass to a buyer if i ever sold it or my family need it to prove price.

I have pretty much every receipt from the build, but it’s from the build shop.. so the line items are kind of vague. “Install steering column” etc.

It’s at the tranny shop getting a minor issue fixed but I’ll examine things when she gets back. The steering wheel I want is STUPID expensive so I want to make sure I’m getting the right thing.

It’s got some flaming river parts in it so maybe it’s their column. Looks like most the aftermarket columns use the Chevy adapter, but I’ll obviously make sure.

Thanks again guys!

call the builder and ask them ?

Ok I think I got it, but can you guys check me / back me up here

The adapter is an ididit adapter for a 6 bolt momo.

The column more certainly isn’t an ididit (it’s just not refined enough). It was also $260 in 2012..

But since ididit only makes adapters for their own columns / 69+ GM, it should be safe to assume that this column is a 69+ sourced column, no?

From what I recall, MoPar tilt column optioned cars in the late sixties and seventies came with Saginaw columns and required a short, pigtail, adapter for the turn signal harness.

Actually I have a column shift 1969 B-Body tilt with cruise control.....took it out myself waaay back. Wire feeds still have the part # tapes on them.

Most of the older mopars are the same as GM because they used Saginaw - the only thing to do is measure & count the splines ( check if any where on the splines is a heavy spot, like a keyway ) , make sure what your specs are

 

[FlyByWire]

Got it handled. GM splines. Thanks fellas!
