Hey everyone -- I'm trying to get my car finally ready to install the engine, and I figured I'd rebuild my steering coupler which was missing shoes when I bought the car. I'm pretty sure the steering column is original, but not 100% (matches the interior color and is roughly in the same condition as the rest of the interior). The problem I'm running into is that when I try to mock everything up, the column appears about 7" too short. I did collapse the column trying to get the new coupler on, but after searching the forums, I wasn't sure if that was the whole story. As I understand it, the nylon pins are just an anti-rattle feature, so I'm happy to install the column without them for now if possible.
Do I need to take apart my column to get the rest of the length out? Or am I missing something else? I have a manual steering box in the car now, which is what I bought it with.
Edit: car is a 1969 Roadrunner.
