The one I sent you was the wrong one?

 

[commando1]

Yah. I never in a million years would I have thought a '68 would be totally different but when I went to install it, sho nuff, it was very different. The contures were different.
I was shocked myself....

That sucks.

A trivial setback but I learned something new today.

Here's another tip for ya, Stan. The isolators for the steering column is different from a '68, too. My car has what appears to be lead pieces with plastic pins that would get sheared in a hard front end collision, while the '68 and up Mopars use the white plastic capsules.

Ads for German GM/Opel Division tried to sell us this type of collapsing steering column to be a patented GM novelty from around model year 68 IIRC, seems to have been around at Mopar as well already; was this a US mandatory safety item and for what year ?

 

[M0esy]

Mandatory for '67 MY, afaik

The Mopar columns were made by GM.

Well, technically. Saginaw was a supplier owned by GM, a distinction that faded over time until it became irrelevant.
There was a day each division of GM had to answer to Fisher Body....

So the claim was right after all. One of those patents distributed to other companies.
One of the most popular I remember is the still widely used Porsche synchro for manual transmissions.

I thought you were going to just drive this one?

 

[cm23uoc]

It drives him nuts. ;)

 

[commando1]

I do. I drive it daily unlike that spoiled B***** sitting up on her pedastal.
As I drive it, my mental list of "Next!..." accumulates.

 

[commando1]

Oh. Might as well get in a bump for it while I'm here.
Anybody?

 

[commando1]

Let's give this a bump, shall we?
