4. You need to modify your stock column slightly. If you have an Early 1967 or 1970 refer to the
appropriate section at the end of the instruction sheet. Remove the steering column and tube
assembly in one piece. Do not remove the steering wheel. Cut off the rag joint assembly at the end
closest to the joint itself. Next install the supplied column tube bearing by sliding it over the steering
shaft and up to the column tube and tap it in with a hammer. Once the bearing is seated measure from
the flat of the bearing down 1-3/4” and cut off the excess shaft. Next slide on the brass washer and
install the supplied U-joint so that the shaft is flush to the inside of the new joint. Drill and pin the
joint in place with the provided bit and roll pins. That is all that is needed for modification to the
column.
5. Once you have this done install the appropriate floor plate provided in your kit using the hardware
provided. Slide the floor plate over the column tube with the clamp and install the column through the
firewall and bolt back in place. Attach the new floor plate with supplied hardware and complete the
installation.
