Hi everyone,
OK, here's one that has me baffled. I have a 1970 Roadrunner and finishing off a restoration on the car. It's an original power steering car but was drag raced briefly back in the day and was switched to manual steering.
I am now switching it back to a power steering car. I have everything in and changed the manual steering shaft to a shorter power steering shaft. Rebuilt the whole column had Firm Feel redo the steering box etc...Have it all hooked up but when I go to put on the final piece on the column and steering wheel there is a gap of about a 1/2" (see photo). At first I thought the shaft wasn't bottomed out on the bottom of the coupler but pulled it apart and slid the shaft (without the plates and spring clip) to bottom it out and the same thing??? Not sure what is going on, was supposed to be a 1970 power steering shaft which is much shorter then the manual shaft.
Any help here much appreciated.
Best regards,
Wayne
