| Post subject: | Steering column difference |
I noticed some columns have 3 nuts (or was it 2 nuts and 1 screw?) that hold it to the dashboard frame, and some have only 2. Is this the difference between manual and power columns or is it just a difference of years or... ? |

I know on the later (wide) a-body it depends on the year, the 1973-1976 columns regardless of shift or power/manual all had 3 bolts at the firewall, by late 1974 they also changed to a different interface at the mounting plate as well. i think my 1967 had the 3 bolts at the plate, but also had 2 smaller bolts where the column sleeve and bearing fit to that plate. -D.Idiot |

Do you know if the style with 2 bolts to the dash frame change with the type that uses 3? Looking at a 2 bolt column to put in my 3 bolt car - I'd just use the 2 bolt bracket and ignore the third bolt. I've only seem pictures, the bolts look like they are in the same place but no knowing for sure. |

My 1973 and 1974 were 3 bolt at the pedal/dash bracket, in 1975-1976 they went with the 2 bolt bracket and they fit back and forth with no problem (in fact i have a 1967 column as a temp steering column in the project 1976 Duster... The 3rd bolt is just a hanging bracket off the brake pedal frame, you can swap the column brackets or just forget the 3rd bolt and should be good to go. -D.Idiot |
