He speaks!!! 👍 Fine job! Much more insightful with the added voice over. Great job on the column - it looks awesome. The shrink tubing sure worked great too.
This is pretty neat in that you show some of the more obscure projects one might need tackle with an old sixties Chevy. I own a 1967 RS Camaro convertible. It has a tilt steering column, and I am installing an old dealer installed type cruise control. So, I came to see how to route the wiring for cruise control lever just below the steering wheel.
Great video- and the voice over added to the learning experience ( working on my column at this time.) Great idea with the heat shrink- I might need your source for that if I can’t salvage the original that is on one of the two columns I’m using to make one.
Most of the parts were found at: www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com and the parts that I could not find were from the other column. Here are the screws: www.classicindustries.com/product/all-years/chevrolet/blazer/parts/3902188.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw59q2BhBOEiwAKc0ijbFY4B4zNu533GIoTvTjG3d3pbpeKLU4dZ-q3_PSWjCqAlr3bp2vGBoCOw4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Thank you for watching

@@denniscorraini572 That's correct, I had the springs that came with the columns. The size of the spring is 13/16 x 5/15, not sure what the inner dimension was.
Thank you! All the parts were stripped down, cleaned, primed, painted and some were powder coated. There is a video showing all of that work being done ua-cam.com/video/9MfoJzroyWg/v-deo.html
I purchased two from Amazon, so I don't remember which one it was without measuring the tube. One was 70mm (2.75") and the other was 60mm (2.36") in diameter, both 2:1 shrink ratio.
Depending on the car it may be possible to leave the column in, but you probably have a lot of clearance issue when trying to pull the inner shaft out. For one you will probably have to remove the steering box.
I have not seen the springs for sale on any site, what I did was use my original springs. However, I did buy another column to use for spare parts Most of the new parts were purchased from www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/ and what some people do is buy the springs from the hardware store. I have an extra set of column parts new and old as well as painted and ready to be put together If you are interested in buying it all. I can also give you the size of the springs if that helps and you can just buy them from the hardware store.
I just did a signal switch on my 1967 Chevy impala ss , after taking c clip and washers off I can’t get the shaft up enough to put c clip and washers back.

Assuming you are doing this by yourself, I would suggest doing just what you wrote, "loosening the coupler that attaches column to the steering box" and push it towards the inside of the car.
@@robertsantaniello2152 if there is a spring behind the signal mechanism and possibly a plate over that, you may need a tool to push down on it so you can get to the groove and install the clip.

Does the lower housing that gets locked in with the plate and 3 spring screws rotate at all? Not the smallest housing the 2nd housing up from the gauges. Thanks
Thanks for watching, if you are referring to the housing that connects to the plate, (8-9-10) yes, it rotates until it locks into place. The Shifter housing (12) will move, but does not rotate. The numbers refer to the Diagram in the beginning of the video and/or camaro book.
My housing #12 can turn back and forth about an 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch. Did not know it’s that is normal. Sitting in the seat counterclockwise closes the gap clockwise opens the gap. But it does not come unlocked. Does anyone else’s do this. Thanks Great video. Keep them coming!!!

Thanks, I am always looking to improve everything I do and I am happy if it helps others with their projects.
Thank you for sharing. Very nice, great idea with the heat shrink tubing.👍👀
Thank you, I would have used the heat shrink tube even if I had a cover. I would have just put it under the cover to keep it a bit more sealed.
Freaking great video!!!!!!
Thank you!
I’m working on the same type steering column right now. Thanks!
