how to remove gear indicator from an original column shift?

[miamivice]

Hi!

I plan to install a floor mounted shifter & console in my Cuda.

The actual column that I got w/ my car is a column shifted column, and I am hoping you guys can tell me what parts I need to do the conversion to get rid of that section w/ the indicator, as this will be a real obviously 'off' looking feature on my interior if i leave it.

Any pictures would also be helpful if you have done this on your car as well.

Thank you!

Last year I converted my steering column from column shift to floor shift for 4 speed conversion. IIRC Essentially you need to swap the cast aluminum housing that has the gear indicator and shift lever (two pieces) with those from a floor shift car (three pieces, auto or manual). All other components from the column shift steering column are used.

The part that mentions pulling the key cylinder out:
Put the key in and push the pin in the hole.

Also be very aware how the spring is on the column that's for the lever lock out.
I didn't pay attention when I took it off and it took me hours to find where it connects back.

thanks for emailing me the rebuild guide, really helpful!!

what other cars/years can i find these 2 pieces from the column that I am looking for?

and now, most important question - does anyone actually extra pieces that they would be willing to let go to help me out?
