A few months back I ordered and recieved (was told from "dave"at socalstangs that it was off an 89 mustang) an "89" tilt steering colum from Socalstangs to replace my 90 non-tilt airbag version ....it didn't come with a colum cover.....well I found, ordered and recieved a cover/shroud here on stang net from one of our fine members to go on this "89" colum(he sent pictures comparing the differences between the 88-89 vs. my 90 and I believe our guy) but, it will not go on the "89"steering colum that i spent 150 bucks for from socalstangs....my car is a 90 gt and I understand that my airbag model coum cover want fit it either....

I've emailed the guy and I've called him and he will not reply or answer.....yet.

My question is, did dave send my what he had laying around cause the 89 cover(roundish on the small end... and kind of square on the end facing the dash)no matter how i look at it ..it will not go on.

Thanks in advance for any opions or ideas...

I got a colum from a 1987 that I can post pics of. I can also post pics of the 1990 column if need be...give me a couple hours thou

Also, I tried to install the 87 column in my 90..the brackets and plugs are different.

Well, do you have a tilt lever on the column??

Because 90-93 did not have tilt at all as an option, so if you see a tilt lever then it's an 89-earlier column

Yes sir, it is tilt, that much I knew from day one.......But aren't there earlier (early 80's) tilt colums where the shroud/cover is a different style...?????Thanks in advance......

........again, I'm just trying to figure out why the shroud I just recieved does not fit.

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
