Got over the hump with this project with the shift column and steering shaft in. Everything seems to be working normally and all that’s left is reassembly of everything that came off to get to the column. (That’s a lot, but it’s always nice when you’re tightening screws, not loosening them.)
I’m about to start this same shifter repair on my 64 right now. been going over the net for anyone who has done this. Thank you for your blog, videos, and photos!
