Thanks for the clarification, Bill. My real intent was to let Jason know the detent was on the upper end of the steering column, not down on the tranmission. I've had mine apart before but couldn't remember exactly where it was in the column.

Gracias for the info Gents,

Sounds like I have a can of worms just begging to be opened.

Mine, too. All original 352/COM. I just make sure to let it idle in neutral if I go off and leave it.

Glad I caught this post, as I thought it was in the transmission.

I actually tried to post a shot of that diagram but was unable to get it from the pdf file onto the clipboard in order to move it here.

FTE member EffieFord is a Ford parts gal, works for a dealer near Atlanta GA

She contacted via P/M on another matter, said she has the '64/72 truck CD parts catalog.

So...I listed the catalog reference for her...and for anyone else that's interested.
