Hey everyone, I certainly appreciate any help I can get. I'm 80% through the restoration of my 67 Camaro and have run into a brick wall with the steering column. The car was originally a column shift but I have installed a Muncie. My buddy doing the body work, removed the steering column, disassemble it, then, cut and filled in the shift lever mount. It looks great...like it was never there. The problem is he couldn't re-assemble it, so he gave me the parts in a baggie and I cant seem to get it back together either. I'm thinking there is a spacer missing somewhere but he say's no.
Does anyone out there have any experience with this, assembly/dis-assembly of a 67-68 Camaro steering column? It would be a column shift, non tilt. I have searched extensively for a good exploded view but everything I find is really unclear.
I have attached a couple pic's of the gap that I can't seem to close up. I can compress it (it's under spring pressure) closing the gap but it opens up to this distance once released, catching on the thrust washer, wave washer and C-clip. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm about to the point I would buy one if anyone out there has an assembled column they would like to sell. Sorry if I posted to the wrong area...I'm new here and thanks for the help.
