Standard GM 5-Position Tilt Steering Column, 32In, Column Shift, Plain. How to Measure Required Steering Column Length in Three Easy Steps.
Your steering column length will not always be identical to the factory column due to several factors, including seating position, steering linkage connection (converting from a gear box to a rack-and-pinion for example), and other factors. For that very reason we highly recommend you measure your specific application for the best fitment. Start with your dash/gauge cluster installed and your seating position confirmed so that you can determine proper steering wheel placement.
Consider having your steering wheel of choice in hand as well for even more accurate measuring. All our columns feature a 7-inch bell, which is the top portion where the tilt mechanism and turn signal switch reside. So, you will need to confirm you have a minimum clearance of seven inches between your dash and steering wheel. Measure from the back face of your steering wheel (taking into consideration any steering wheel adapter thickness) to your firewall.
Add 3-inches to this value for proper column pass through distance into the engine bay to get your column length total and then round up or down to the nearest column length we offer (30-, 32-, or 33-inch length) depending upon personal preference. Additional Notes for Column Shift Applications.
Shifter linkage at end of the column can be clocked in multiple locations to clear exhaust or frame obstructions. Easiest way to link the steering column shift linkage to your transmission is with a rod end linkage kit.
The illumination wire for the shift indicator is separate from the turn signal harness and requires connection to your headlight switch or dash illumination circuit. We provide shift indicator bezels with callouts for 3-speed and 4-speed automatics, but these columns will work with most 2-speed transmissions as well.
For modern electronic transmission swaps 5-speed, 6-speed, etc. The shift detents should work provided the gear detents on the transmissions manual lever match up (P-R-N-D-2-1 or P-R-N-OD-D-2-1).
Verify column length needed to prevent the steering wheel hitting the dash when you tilt the wheel up. Having the column too close to the dash will potentially cause interference with the shifter or your hand. Main column ground is attached to the column tube and needs to be secured to chassis ground. The black wire in the ribbon harness is the ground for the horn relay.
