Steering Column

Hey,
Well after my introduction I have fixed a couple of issues already 1. My radio was not wire constant for the settings 2. My Wiper motor was not wired and it was spliced. Question do you think it is nicer to use the column for the wiper or use the Chrome ***** on the dash

What's your column out of? I like the stuff on the column but if you're going for near original look black plastic ***** are original. OBTW if you use the column what are you going to do with the hole in the dash, Dummy ****? That would be the best of both worlds.

I don’t know what the column out of. There seems to be cruise control and I also don’t have high beams either.

That column looks to be Chevy. I'm wondering if the power brake pedal is from the same vehicle. Do you have a dimmer switch on the floor? If not then they may have tried to wire the headlights thru the column as well.
That's the problem of buying a vehicle that someone has modified. If they didn't give you notes it can be almost impossible to figure out all they've changed.

Yes I’m finding out the hard way. I own a 71 Chevelle convertible, but i guess these old fords sometimes were frankensteined together. Fixed the wiring on 2 issues so the **** for the windshield wiper works now.
