Is this steering column correct for a 1970 cuda?
« on: August 11, 2009 - 04:04:08 PM »
I like to know if this steering column, that came out from 1971 Challenger is correct for a 1970 Cuda? :clueless: :1zhelp:
Is it for a power steering? or manual?

Thanks for the help it is appreciated :-)  :drunk:

no it is not correct for a 70 only steering column, but will work.  Looks to be a power steering assembly since the shaft is short

It looks like a power steering shaft to me. The only thing that scares me is the turn signal switch for 70's was a one year only thing. I don't know if there would be a compatibility issue with plugging this switch into your existing wiring.    :dunno:

yes it will work OK  & no it is not correct the 70 column had a interlock to the tranny to rotate the column to get the key out
 the TS switch plugs in just fine
