    Thank you so much for posting this video! It helped me greatly!
    As much as I love the original service manual, it’s Mmmmm more of a visual guy.
    I’d be in trouble had you not posted this video
    Again thank you so very much

    Though I have a 1966 Plymouth B-Body with no power steering and a 4 speed, this video helped me quite a bit since there isn't much support in the steering column world for 1966 models. There are some common items and those made a big difference. Thanks for the tips.

    I’m redoing a 69 fastback too. Can’t wait to see the other tech videos. So far you’ve got two great ones uploaded. My car is completely apart so I look forward to see the rest of your work.

      @@angelgarrido9609 yes sir I’ll be waiting to see what’s next. My car has the wheel well cut out with a plate made to set in a huge fuel cell. It was done to make the fuel cell low enough to use the factory filler neck and gas lid. I’m not thrilled with this setup and believe I’ll change. Your video on the column made me look mine over and notice I was missing a roll pin and I’m gonna buy that spring retainer clip to put in it also. My instrument cluster was sent off and rechromed to look new. Really enjoy the detail in your videos.

    This is a GREAT video. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you installed your shoes flat side out (14:48). In the diagram (13:36), the shoes are flat side in - facing the shaft. I did my re-assembly according to the diagram (flat side in). Can you please clarify (if you know) which way is the correct shoe position? Thanks !

    • @angelgarrido9609
      @angelgarrido9609  2 года назад

      I think you can put the shoes on both ways. Find the coupling body on eBay.

    • @kidkhryslerkid1193
      @kidkhryslerkid1193 Год назад

      The shoes in the video are installed wrong. The flat of the shoe goes toward the shaft. The beveled side goes inside the coupler housing so it can pivot. The way they are installed in the video will cause binding. A Factory Service manual will have the illustration for this assembly.

    I have a column (same as this one) that the key unlocks the steering lock but i cant move the shifter. Ive disconnected the linkage at the base of the column from the trans. The shifter will pull towards you but wont move up or down from park. Do you think that shifter tube is seized in there or is something in the ignition related to releasing it?
    What could stop the shifter from working properly with it totally disconnected?

    Not using the column because the plastic pins are broken is wrong. They were installed to help with assembly and prevent vibration. The column can't extend when it's installed. It's perfectly fine to use

    • @angelgarrido9609
      @angelgarrido9609  5 месяцев назад

      My understanding is the plastic pins were made to break away with a head-on collision. There was a Mopar repair kit back in the day to fix the broken pins, but that was discontinued. Let's say you tried to replace the pins with a DIY pin and you were in a head-on collision, what if the pins didn't break and the shaft didn't collapse. The steering column shaft becomes a spear and you would be impaled. So, yeah you can use it, but do you want to take a chance with your life? Not me.

    Real deal is steering wheel will break if you have manual steering, the lousy ratio is why
