ididit Retrofit Steering Column: 1965 Falcon - Manual (Page 9)

KNOB & LEVER INSTALLATION
Open packaging and install the knobs
onto the levers. The shorter lever is
the tilt lever, and is threaded into the
hole on the column closest to the dash.
(Figure 16) The longer lever is the turn
signal lever, and is threaded into the
hole closest to the steering wheel. We
recommend using Locktite. (If you have
a column shift, install the shift knob with
the set screw facing the dash.)
STEERING WHEEL INSTALLATION
This column has a Ford top shaft and will accept your stock 1965 Falcon
steering wheel.
Before installing your steering wheel, apply dielectric grease on the horn
pins on the column and on the steering wheel grooves they ride in. When
you put your wheel on, make sure the pins are collapsing straight and not
being bent over.
Aim the road wheels so they are
pointing straight ahead. Lower the
stock steering wheel onto the column
and center it in its proper position.
Tighten the NEW nut that came with
the column to 35 ft lbs. You may
need to adjust the wheel a bit after
driving the vehicle to get the wheel
just where you want it. Re-install the
horn and spring by pushing in and
turning clockwise to lock it into place.
(Figure 17)
Hook the battery back-up and verify that your signals, brake lights, etc
are operating properly. Double check all fasteners including coupler, dash
mount and floor mount to make sure they are all tight.
