I picked up a tilt steering column for my original non-tilt 70 Mach 1. What else will I need to make the conversion. I see various parts that specify if the car has tilt steering. What will make my upgrade complete from A to Z? Thanks.
I wish I could tell you, but pops pieced me one together using my original fixed column and parts from a '70s Lincoln Mark??? tilt column for a whopping cost of $10. I know there was some little mod he had to do where the column meets the rag joint or something, but it wasn't a big deal, maybe 3 seconds with a grinder kinda thing. Other than that, it simply bolted back in place. Since the '70 column doesn't "swing away", I don't think it uses vacuum, so I'd think you might be lucky enough to simply swap 'em out. About the only thing I can think of is that you'll probably need/want a new lower column cover...
