Can anyone give me the length from the end of column tube to end of splined connector?
I can estimate from there what the shaft length is.

The reasone why I'm asking is that when I re built my steering column, it collapsed in so I need to get the right length back out to where it was originally.

Mike my car is all together so I can't measure exactly what you're asking. It's a '73 Challenger with P/S if that makes a difference.
From the plastic piece at the bottom of the outer tube (don't see this in your picture) to the top of the coupler is 9" & to the end of the coupler is 12"

Perfect!
Thanks Wade.

A little bit of measuring on mine, and I should be able to adjust it to that.

Thanks Andy.

This brings up an interesting possibility.
Was that from end of column to end of coupler?

Are Challenger lengths different than Cuda's that had P/S?

That was from the end of the tube to the end of the shaft, just as you had marked with red arrows.

And I believe the steering columns interchange within e-bodies.
