Shaft Installation:
1. Cut the steering column 1” from the bottom support bearing (see below).
2. Install column joint end onto stock steering shaft & tighten. Note: On big block cars it is necessary to
slide shaft under header tube to clear & attach to column shaft.
3. Tighten the allen style screw in place in order to hold the u-joint to the column. Rotate the column
shaft joint to access the thru-hole (see pic below).
4. Use supplied drill bit to drill through column shaft and blank side of u-joint. Install the larger roll pin
provided by tapping it into place until flush with the side of the u-joint. Next tap the smaller pin into the
larger pin already installed until it is flush as well. This will ensure a positive lock.
a. If the u-joint has two thru holes, drill half way thru the column shaft. Then rotate the joint 180
degrees and use thru hole to finish drilling the column shaft.
5. Remove the allen set screw and apply “RED” locktite thread lock to threads and reinstall & tighten.
6. Install heim joint into threaded hole of column support bracket so about five threads are showing.
Install jam nut on bracket. Do Not Tighten.
7. Slide lower shaft through heim joint & install bracket over the driver side from bolts & mounting
bracket.
8. Install u-joint on pinion of rack & slide lower shaft into u-joint.
